How to Make Tandoori Chicken Wings

  1. In a blender, combine 1 medium onion, 1 inch ginger (peeled and roughly chopped), 4 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup lime juice, 1 cup plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), and 1 teaspoon turmeric. Blend until completely smooth.
  2. Pour the marinade into a resealable plastic bag.
  3. (Optional) Marinate overnight for maximum flavor development.
  4. Approximately 8 hours before cooking, score each chicken wing at least twice, about 1/4 inch deep.
  5. Add the chicken wings to the marinade bag.
  6. Seal the bag tightly and gently massage the wings to ensure they are evenly coated.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours (or overnight).
  8. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  9. Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer on a wire rack placed over a rimmed baking sheet. This allows for even cooking and crispy skin.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through for even browning and cooking.
  11. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, restaurant-quality Tandoori Chicken Wings!
