For the Spicy Mango Glaze:
Remove the flesh from the mango (see video below if you need help) and place it in a mini blender.
Add the coriander to the blender, don't bother removing the stems.
Remove the stem from the chilli pepper (discard it) and add it to the blender with the lime juice and fish sauce.
Blend this mix and transfer it to a small saucepan (15cm). Pour in the honey and cook out the glaze for 10 minutes.
For Oven Baked Wings:
Place the chicken skin-side down on a baking rack placed on top of a baking tray.Drop the baking tray in the oven and cook for 30 minutes at 130ºC or 250ºF.
Remove the chicken wings from the oven, turn up the heat to 200ºC or 400ºF.Flip the wings over on the rack and return them to the oven for another 20 minutes.
After the wings have had the extra 20 minutes, remove them from the oven and place them in a bowl.
Pour over 125ml (½ Cup) of the glaze and, using a spoon, toss them around to coat.
Return them to the grid and give them another 7-10 minutes in the oven at 200ºC or 400ºF to go sticky.
Serve the rest of the glaze as a dipping sauce or keep it for later, it is great with everything from pork to burgers.
