We all know how sexy it is to serve up a finger-licking delicious appetizer for two and this recipe for mango chicken wings is no exception. Serve this up with two chilled rum cocktails like the Bajan Star Shine below, and you are set for a fun evening appetizer, a midnight snack (if you have the foresight to marinate earlier in the day), or late afternoon delight.
