Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon hot chile powder
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon salt, or more as needed
- 5 large chicken wings, cut in 2, tips discarded
Instructions
- Combine coriander, cumin, cardamom, chile powder, pepper, and cloves in a dry pan over low heat. Stir until fragrant. Remove from heat, add oil and water, and stir until combined. Set spice paste aside.
- Rub salt over wings in a shallow dish, then rub spice paste all over. Cover and refrigerate, 4 hours to overnight.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Add wings and cook, turning halfway, until well browned, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- You can also cook these in an oiled grill pan.
Reviews
Made these wings a few times and every time the wings are a hit. Love them!
Delicious. I usually make four pounds of wings therefore I double the spice and use a tablespoon of kosher salt instead of the suggested salt in the recipe. Also, marinating the wings overnight works best. I found waiting two or three days mellows the spices.
delicious tast
I made these for a group “Indian themed” carry-in and they were a HIT! I followed the recipe just as it is but was only able to marinate them for 2 hours due to time constaints. I cooked them on a my GMG pellet smoker at 375 and then put them in my crockpot for transportation and keeping hot. I will definitely be making these again! First time I have ever experimented with Indian spices and cooking. What an eye opener for me. Loved Them!
Wow. These taste great! Definitely try to marinade them as long as possible. I’ve tried them overnight and just 1 hour. It’s like a completely different wing if you wait overnight. Well worth it!
A nice change of pace from the usual chicken wings! I love Indian flavors and this is the perfect mashup. These have some heat, so if you’re sensitive to spicy foods, cut back on the chile. I served mine sprinkled with cilantro, and with a homemade mango chutney yogurt dipping sauce. I marinated mine for about 24 hrs, then grilled them on medium-low. They would have burned on high heat.
