Time 4h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for the baking sheets
1 1/2 tablespoons garam masala
2 teaspoons cayenne
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, finely grated
3/4 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
Kosher salt
3 pounds chicken wingettes and drumettes
1 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 seedless cucumber, peeled and coarsely grated on a box grater
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the wings: Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garam masala, cayenne, paprika, coriander, cumin and turmeric and toast, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste, ginger and garlic, and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the yogurt and 2 teaspoons of salt. Add the chicken wings and toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to 8 hours.
  • Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil and then a piece of parchment paper. Lightly oil the parchment paper.
  • Arrange the chicken wings on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Bake until golden brown on the underside, about 30 minutes. Flip the wings, switch the position of the baking sheets and continue to bake until crispy and golden brown all over, 15 to 20 minutes more.
  • For the raita: Combine the yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, cucumber and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Chill in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving.

The wings were good, but the cilantro raita was too runny.

I found the wings to be a bit bland. I think they needed more seasoning.

The marinade for these wings is too spicy for me. I had to tone it down with some yogurt.

I followed the recipe exactly and the wings were dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but these wings were just the right amount of heat for me. They were flavorful without being overpowering.

I love that this recipe uses yogurt instead of butter or oil. It makes the wings healthier and still just as delicious.

The marinade for these wings is amazing! It's so flavorful and gives the wings a beautiful color. I baked them according to the recipe and they came out perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

These wings were a hit at my party! They were so flavorful and juicy, and the cilantro raita was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making these again.
