Tandoori Chicken Wings

We love chicken wings at home…in all their versions, especially when grilled. The grilled chicken wings are delicious by themselves; you can’t imagine how good they are in this Tandoori spice version. Marinated with yoghurt, ginger-garlic paste and Tandoori spice, then grilled until golden, these juicy spicy chicken wings are finger-licking good!

I usually accompany them with a fresh salad and Naan or any kind of flatbread.

Instructions:

-Cut the wings into two parts: drumettes and flats/wingettes

-Put them in a bowl and add all the ingredients for the marination. Mix well to coat every piece and cover with plastic wrap. Marinate overnight or for 2-3 hours into the fridge.

-Preheat the oven to 250 ºC and place the marinated wings on the tray. Grill them for 25 minutes. After 15 minutes, turn them over so that they cooked and caramelized all over.

-In a frying pan, put a little bit of gravy that the wings have released and sauté the red onion in this gravy on high heat. Add them on top of the grilled wings. This step is optional.

-Sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve with Naan.
