This mango habanero sauce is the perfect complement to wings! Fruity with the right amount of heat, this sauce is oh-so-easy and sure to please.
Why This Sauce Is So Good
- This sauce is so ridiculously tasty! It’s spicy, but not so hot that you can’t taste the fruity flavors of mango and lime.
- Super easy to make, this mango habanero sauce just requires throwing a mango and some ingredients in a food processor or blender.
- We love this sauce on wings, but it’s also delicious on tofu and even as a dip with tortilla chips.
How To Make This Recipe
- Peel, de-pit, and dice the mango.
- Combine all the ingredients in food processor. That’s it!
Top Tips For Making Mango Habanero Sauce
- For less spicy sauce, seed all of the habanero peppers or add more maple syrup.
- If you prefer a very smooth sauce, use a blender instead of a food processor. We started ours in a food processor and moved it to the blender to get it nice and smooth.
- This recipe will make about two small hot sauce bottles worth of sauce. If you don’t have a small bottle on hand, you can put the sauce in a mason jar or even a tupperware container.
- Try smoked paprika. We are huge fans of the smoky scent and flavor that smoked paprika adds to dishes, and we loved the combination of it with the fruit and peppers.

Our recipes focus on real ingredients and homemade elements. We try to avoid processed flour and sugar, like white flour or white sugar. Our recipes often swap less healthy options (like a commercial, deep-fried tostada) for an easy homemade version.

Some of our recipes will be “skinny,” low carb, keto, paleo, dairy free, grain free, gluten free, Whole30, or vegan, and they will be labeled when they qualify for any of these diets.

Yum! We have a giant mango tree in our yard and I am always looking for new recipes. Plus that we LOVE hot sauce. I am curious what is the shelf life? I’d love to be able to make a lot of this to give to people. Thank you!
It should last at least a couple months in the fridge, if not longer. Let us know how you like it! I wish I had a mango tree!
Thank you! I just made it and it is DELICIOUS!!! All of my mangos from last year are pureed in zip locs in my freezer so I just used a 1c measurement and it came out great. I did, however, think that I am tougher than I actually am so I left all seeds in…WOWEEE!!!
We own a food truck and I make your mango habanero sauce. I had so many compliments on it! So those go to you too, thank you so much!
Wow, that’s such high praise! Thanks so much, Olga – I’m so glad you AND your customers love the sauce!
I made this recipe step-by-step and it turned out great only question I have is how to thin the sauce so I can use it in my shaker bottle
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it. You could try adding just a smidge of water to thin the sauce a bit.
Hi Cheryl! Thanks for the recipe, looks great! What type of white vinegar are you using?
Truly just whatever I can find at the grocery store!
