Instructions
- If you have whole chicken wings, split at the join and discard the tips. Use kitchen shears to remove any loose skin. Pat dry with paper towels.
- To make the marinade, combine the yogurt, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, gram flour, salt, and all of the dry spices in a large mixing bowl. Mix the contents well.
- Toss the wings in the marinade and combine well to ensure the wings are uniformly coated with the marinade.
- Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Let the wings marinade for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours or overnight for a deeper flavor.
AirFryer Method
- Preheat the air fryer to 370 degree Fahrenheit. Lightly grease the air fryer basket.
- Place the chicken wings in the basket with no overlapping and cook them for 10-12 minutes. Turn the wings at half-time mark. You might need to cook in batches.
- Raise the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and continue to cook for 3 more minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Garnish with cilantro. Serve warm with lime wedges along with mint cilantro chutney to dip.
Oven Method:
- Preheat the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the wings on a lightly greased grilling rack. Place the rack on top of a baking tray. You can line the tray with parchment paper or aluminum foil to catch any drippings. Any remaining marinade can be brushed over the wings.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until done. Now change the oven setting to broil. Broil the chicken wings for 4-5 minutes or until the skin is crisp and slightly charred.
- Garnish with cilantro. Serve warm with lime wedges along with mint cilantro chutney to dip.

Notes
- Marinate: Marinate for at least 30 minutes, but longer is ideal for more tender Chicken Wings.
- Cook: For best results cook the meat only until done. This will result in soft, juicy & tender chicken wings. Overcooked meat can result in chewy wings. Use a digital thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken is at least 165°F (75°C).
- Meal Prep: Make a batch of these marinated chicken wings and freeze them for later use or meal prep for the week.
- How to get the red color: I highly recommend using the Indian Kashmiri red chili powder, which is mild but gives the dish the perfect red color.
