Ingredients

For the Wings

  • 1 kg Chicken Wings
  • 2 tbsp Ginger Paste you can buy it in any supermarket and it keeps for ages!
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Paste also very widely available
  • ½ tbsp Tumeric
  • 1 tbsp Fenugreek Leaves
  • 2 tbsp Kashmiri Chilli Powder
  • 2 tsp Garam Masala
  • 200 ml Greek Yoghurt we use lactose free which works just fine
  • 2 Lemons juice only

For the Garnish

  • 2 tbsp Fresh Coriander chopped
  • 2 Red Chillies sliced
  • 4 cloves Garlic sliced, not chopped

Instructions

  • Take the wing tips off the chicken and discard. They would burn if you left them on
  • Put the ginger paste, garlic paste, turmeric, fenugreek leaves, chilli powder, garam masala, lemon juice and yoghurt into a large bowl and mix well. Add the chicken wings, stir to ensure everyone is coated, cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for at least 24 hours
  • When you are ready to cook the wings, put your oven on at the highest temperature it will go. Forget temperatures, just as high as your oven goes! Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment paper (this is very important because the wings will stick to the baking sheet and make it a nightmare to clean!) and, when the oven is as hot as it will go, put the baking sheet with the wings into the oven.
  • Bake the wings for 30-35 minutes. You are looking for them to be charred and bubbled skins, but not burnt!
  • Whilst the wings cook, gently fry the red chillies and garlic for the garnish until the chillies are crispy and the garlic is crisp but not burnt.
  • When the wings are ready, simply put them in a bowl, sprinkle with the garnish and serve. Remember, they will be red hot, so it is worth giving them a few minutes to cool so that you don't burn your fingers!
