Spicy chicken anyone? What bowl party is the same without chicken wings? Make these super easy wings and bring heat to the table!

Ingredients:

1 lb. chicken wings, legs and thighs
2 cups mango-habanero sauce   (recipe follows)
canola oil for frying
2 lemons
salt and pepper to taste 

Method:
Rinse and pat dry chicken pieces. Season with salt, pepper and juice from fresh-squeezed lemons. Cover and let marinate for 30 minutes. In deep fryer or large skillet, heat oil and cook chicken for 10 minutes or until gold brown all around and somewhat crispy. Place paper towel on large plate and transfer chicken to plate allowing excess oil to be absorbed. Transfer chicken to large glass dish or large bowl. Pour mango-habanero sauce over chicken and cover all pieces. Use a wooden spoon to blend will if needed.
