Tandoori Style Chicken Wings Recipes

SPICY BAKED TANDOORI WINGS WITH CILANTRO RAITA

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.

TANDOORI CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup yogurt, tomato paste, spices, ginger, oil, and salt in a large bowl. Slit each chicken wing on the underside above and below the joints and add to yogurt mixture. Marinate at least 30 minutes and, refrigerated, up to 8 hours; if refrigerated, bring to room temperature before cooking.
• Heat broiler with rack 8 inches from heating element. Rub oil on a rimmed baking sheet and add chicken wings in a single layer, with undersides facing up. Broil until golden and cooked through, 16 to 18 minutes total, flipping once halfway through. Remove from oven and brush with chutney. Stir apple into remaining cup yogurt and serve alongside wings, for dipping.

TANDOORI CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Put the onion, ginger, garlic, lime juice, yogurt, vegetable oil, cumin, coriander, salt, cayenne and turmeric in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a resealable plastic bag (or into a bowl) and put in the refrigerator. This can be done the night before. It lets the flavors blend together before the chicken even touches it.
• About 8 hours or so before cooking, score each chicken wing at least twice each, about 1/4 inch deep, and then add them to the marinade. Close the bag and knead until the wings are evenly coated with the marinade. Refrigerate them for about 8 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the wings in one layer on a rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. Make sure to turn them halfway through the cooking time. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and done.

• Mix ketchup, aioli, curry powder, onion powder, 3/4 cup yogurt and 1 Tbsp. cilantro until blended.

Refrigerate 2 hours to marinate.
• Meanwhile, mix cream cheese spread with remaining yogurt and cilantro until blended. Refrigerate along with the remaining ketchup mixture until ready to use.
• Heat oven to 450°F. Remove wings from marinade; discard marinade. Place wings in single layer on foil-covered rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 25 to 30 min. or until done, turning and brushing with remaining ketchup mixture after 15 min.
• Serve with the cream cheese mixture.
