Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings (about 16 wings)
  • 1 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Fresh cilantro for garnishing (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
  • In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, garlic, ginger, paprika, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, garam masala, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to create the tandoori marinade.
  • Add the chicken wings to the marinade and toss until they are fully coated. Let the wings marinate for at least 10 minutes. For deeper flavor, marinate in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching for even cooking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Optional: For a charred finish, broil the wings on high for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired before serving.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt in place of Greek yogurt.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the spiciness according to your preference.
To ensure the wings are keto-friendly, serve them with a side of low-carb vegetables or a keto dip.
Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
