Alitas Mango Habanero | La Capital - Summary

Summary

The speaker is demonstrating how to prepare chicken wings using a combination of frying, grilling, and smoking. The process involves purchasing chicken wings, separating them into different parts for different cooking methods, and seasoning them with paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. The wings are then fried in peanut oil until they reach the desired crispiness. The speaker also prepares a mango habanero sauce by blending mango concentrate, habanero chili, garlic, maple syrup, turmeric, and other ingredients. The sauce is then reduced to thicken it and caramelize the sugar.

The seasoned wings are bathed in the sauce, and the speaker arranges them on a plate with vegetables and a dressing made from sour cream, spicy mustard, coffee mustard, milk, garlic, salt, pepper, and dill. The wings are then smoked over a fire for an hour and a half to give them a charred exterior. The speaker also mentions that the wings can be prepared in an oven with smoke for a similar result.

Finally, the speaker serves the wings with their dressing and sauce, and suggests adding pickled habanero for a unique twist. They emphasize that the flavor of the wings is enhanced by the mango habanero sauce and the smoke from the grilling or smoking process.
