Turkish Chicken Wings
Turkish Chicken Wings are marinated in a flavorful mix of yogurt, sumac, crushed chili, hot pepper paste, cumin, garlic, paprika, and olive oil, then baked until tender. The yogurt marinade helps tenderize the wings while imparting a mild tang and spice. Baking with a baste of melted butter or oil creates wings with juicy meat and a slightly crisp exterior. These wings pair well with steamed rice, providing a balanced meal with a mix of spice and creaminess from the marinade.
