Tandoori chicken wings are a delicious and flavorful appetizer or main course that is popular in Indian cuisine. The wings are marinated in a mixture of yogurt and spices, then grilled or baked until they are tender and crispy on the outside.
To make tandoori chicken wings, start by making the marinade. In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, minced garlic, grated ginger, paprika, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients together until they are well combined and smooth.
Next, add the chicken wings to the marinade and toss to coat them evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate the wings in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
When you are ready to cook the wings, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with foil and place the wings on the sheet in a single layer. Bake the wings for 25-30 minutes, or until they are cooked through and crispy on the outside.
Alternatively, you can grill the wings on a hot grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and charred in spots.
Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven or grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Tandoori chicken wings can be served with a side of cucumber yogurt dip, lemon wedges, or fresh herbs for garnish. They are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course that is sure to be a hit with friends and family.
