I’m not sure what took me so long in sharing a Tandoori wings recipe because I’ve shared a lot of “tandoori” inspired meals on my blog so far, but you guys are going to be SO glad I finally did!! These wings are SOOO good, and they’re not fried OR marinated for an annoyingly long period of time.
I actually prefer baked wings because they’re super tender and not dried out ! The trick is cooking them covered first, and then uncovering them just for a little bit to crisp them up a bit.
Marinating these wings in yogurt also makes the meat super tender and the tandoori masala gives the wings that great color and a nice smoky flavor ! Just make sure to use full fat whole milk yogurt so the marinade is thick and not watery.
I served these wings with the scallion jalapeño crema from my black bean nachos and legit, it was a PARTY in my mouth!! Not to toot my own horn, but these wings were SO DAMN good. I sat down and most of them right after I was done photographing them!
I think using paneer as a sub for the chicken would also be delicious! Also serving these with some fresh sliced onions, lots of cilantro and a few wedges of lemon is key!!
Happy Eating!
Not going to lie. Followed this recipe to the dot and the guests LOVED it! Will be making these again!
Can I fry chicken instead of baking it? Will it change the taste bcoz of yogurt?
Can you give baking time for panner ?
Hey Palak,
I tried these and when I cooked them it got watery for some reason so had to end up broiling them in the oven.
How do i avoid getting the water to seperate while cooking covered?
None the less they turned out great!
Hi Palak, Do you know if these could be dropped in the airfryer? If yes, then how long and at what setting?
I’m a first time wing maker, do we take the skins off the meat or leave the skin on the wings (sorry if this is a dumb Q!)
Hi Sumara, no dumb questions here 🙂 No you do not take the skin off of the wings! 🙂
These look amazing! Do you use red food coloring just for a visual appeal? They look so nice and red, I’ve tried to just use the chilli powder for color but can’t get them that tandoori red color. Hope you can help, love the site!
Hey – I do not use food coloring – the Swad Tandoori Masala Powder gives great color!
made these yesterday, they were so so good! thanks
Hi Palak!
The recipe looks amazing. Have you ever tried greek yogurt instead of whole milk yogurt?
Thanks so much!
Hey! I have not but I know a few people have and it has worked well!
Would it be okay if the wings sat in the marinade overnight?
yes! would be just fine!
This recipe was amazing!! My husband and I devoured it ? Looking forward to trying your other recipes. Thank you for taking the time to create this blog!
