Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Chicken wings
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 Ripe bananas
- 1 cup Unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 tbsp Curry powder
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel and place them in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken wings, then sprinkle the spice blend on top. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
While the chicken wings are baking, prepare the banana and curry sauce. Peel and slice the bananas, then add them to a blender or food processor.
Add the coconut milk, curry powder, honey, and lime juice to the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Pour the banana and curry sauce into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Do not boil.
Transfer the baked chicken wings to a serving platter and drizzle the warm banana and curry sauce over the wings, or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately.
