Habanero Honey Sauce

• 1 cup water
• 1 6-ounce can tomato paste
• 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1 teaspoon minced habanero pepper (1 pepper)
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

  Mango Ranch Dipping Sauce
  
• 1 8-ounce bottle Hidden Valley Ranch dressing
• 1/4 cup mango juice (Kern's is good)
• 1/2 jalapeno, minced

Prepare habanero honey sauce by combining all ingredients except the vinegar in a large saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer sauce for 1 hour uncovered, or until sauce reduces to about half of its original volume and thickens. Remove sauce from heat, mix in 1/3 cup white vinegar and cover.

Make the mango ranch dipping sauce by combining the ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and chill sauce until needed.

In your deep fryer, bring 4 to 8 cups of vegetable oil (or whatever is required by your fryer) to 375 degrees.

Drop in the wings and fry for 8 to 12 minutes or until the wings become golden brown. Drain wings for a few minutes on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Put wings in a large metal or glass bowl, add 1/2 cup of the habanero honey sauce and toss the wings until they are all well-coated. Serve with dipping sauce on the side. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com)
