Ingredients

  • 1 Kg Chicken wings (with skin)
  • 1 Cup Yogurt
  • 2 Tbs Oil
  • 1 1/2 Tbs Garlic paste
  • 1 Tbs Ginger paste
  • 1 Tbs Green chilli (chopped)
  • 1/2 Tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1 1/2 Tsp Red chilli powder
  • 1 Tsp Red chilli flakes
  • 1 Tsp Black pepper powder
  • 1 1/2 Tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1 Tbs soy sauce
  • 1 Tbs Vinegar
  • 1/3 Tbs Garam masala powder
  • 1/3 Tsp Black salt

Instructions

  • Wash the chicken wings nicely under running water and then dry them using a paper towel or cloth.
  • In a bowl, mix the yogurt with all the spices listed in the ingredient section, and mix well until you have a smooth marinade.
  • once done with mixing, add the chicken wings to the bowl of marinade and coat them evenly. Let the marinated chicken wings rest for at least 2 hours.
  • Baking Chicken Wings:
    Prepare a baking tray with parchment paper and place the marinated chicken wings in it removing all the excess marinade. Preheat the oven to 400℉ (200℃) and place the tray in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the wings are properly baked.
  • Grilling Chicken Wings:
    Prepare the BBQ griller by burning charcoals. Grease the grill with oil to prevent sticking and place the marinated chicken wings on a grill removing excess marinade. Close the lid and let the wings grill for 10 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. For extra flavor brush the leftover marinade on the wings in the last few minutes of cooking.
  • Once the chicken tikka wings are done baking or grilling, transfer them to a serving platter and garnish some cilantro, lemon wedges, and sesame seeds for extra flavor.
