Tandoori Crispy Baked Chicken Wings (GF, High Protein + Super Simple)
Description
Tandoori Crispy Baked Chicken Wings combine marinated chicken wings with a preparation of non-fat Greek yogurt infused with lemon juice, ginger, garlic, and traditional tandoori spices such as allspice, cayenne, smoked paprika, cumin, and coriander powder. The wings are coated in this mixture and refrigerated to allow the flavors to develop and tenderize the meat. Baking at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for around 45 to 50 minutes crisps the exterior without drying the wings. The accompanying yogurt dip made from yogurt, cilantro, mint, and seasoning offers a cooling contrast to the spices.
The texture of the wings is characterized by a crisp, darkened surface with a tender, juicy interior. The mixture of warming spices and fresh herbal notes provides a layered flavor profile without overwhelming the palate. The recipe is straightforward and relies on the marinade and baking process to bring out the signature tandoori flavor in a home oven.
These wings can be served as an appetizer or part of a main meal, particularly paired with the yogurt herb dip that softens the heat and adds freshness. The yogurt dip also adds moisture and tang. The recipe is suited to those looking for a high-protein, gluten-free dish with bold, spicy notes.
Ingredients
For the wings:
- 3/4 cup yogurt non-fat, plain, Greek
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 1/2 tablespoon ginger minced, fresh
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1/2 tablespoon allspice
- 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon cumin powder
- 1/2 tablespoon coriander seeds powdered
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- black pepper generous pinch
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken wings about 12 wings
For the yogurt dip:
- 1 cup yogurt non-fat, plain, Greek
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- pepper pinch
- 1/2 cup cilantro roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup mint roughly chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix together all of the ingredients for the wings, and stir well to make sure all the spices are evenly distributed. Add in the wings and stir so that they are coated in the yogurt mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours
- Once the wings have marinated, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Take the wings out of the marinade (don’t scrape off the excess!) and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the outside has darkened and is nice and crispy, about 45-50 minutes.
- While the chicken cooks, combine the dip ingredients in a small food processor. Process until well combined and the herbs have broken down.
- Once the chicken wings are done, serve with the yogurt dip and DEVOUR.
