Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, curry powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, paprika, ground coriander, lemon juice, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to form a smooth marinade.
Pat dry the chicken wings with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Add the chicken wings to the marinade and toss until they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight for the best flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack to prevent sticking.
Arrange the marinated chicken wings on the wire rack, ensuring they are spaced out to allow even cooking.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Optional: For extra crispiness, broil the wings for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye on them to avoid burning.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as is. Enjoy!
