Categories     easy, appetizer

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds of chicken wings
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic
some salt

Steps:

  • Cut 3 pounds of chicken wings into 3 sections; save the wing tips for stock. Toss the wings with a little neutral oil to keep them from sticking.
  • Heat a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat. Leave one side of the grill cooler for indirect cooking.
  • Put the wings on the cool side of the grill. Cover the grill, and cook, checking and turning once or twice, until most of the fat has been rendered and the wings are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While the wings cook, combine 4 tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon garam masala, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 1 teaspoon minced garlic and some salt in a large bowl. (It should be the texture of a thin paste.)
  • When the wings are cooked, add them to the bowl with the sauce, and toss to coat. Now put the wings on the hot part of the grill, and cook, uncovered, turning as necessary, until they're nicely browned on both sides.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for chicken wings that are plump and have no signs of bruising or discoloration. Use fresh ginger and garlic, and choose ripe tomatoes.
  • Marinate the chicken wings for at least 30 minutes: This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make it more tender. You can marinate the chicken wings for up to 24 hours, but 30 minutes is the minimum amount of time needed to get good results.
  • Cook the chicken wings over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning or drying out. Cook the chicken wings for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick and flavorful: The sauce is what really makes this dish special. Simmer the sauce for at least 15 minutes, or until it has thickened and reduced. Add more spices to taste, if desired.
  • Serve the chicken wings with your favorite sides: Masala chicken wings are a great appetizer or main course. Serve them with rice, naan bread, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Masala chicken wings are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its bold flavors and tender chicken, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give masala chicken wings a try. You won't be disappointed!
