Ingredients
- 6 Chicken Wings
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 Kashmiri red chili paste
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1/2 Salt
- 1 Honey
- 1 Fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix red chili powder, Kashmiri chili paste, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin powder, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and honey (if using). Adjust the consistency with a bit of water if needed.
- Wash and pat dry the chicken wings.
- Rub the marinade generously over the wings, ensuring each piece is coated well.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (preferably overnight for deeper flavor).
- Preheat the grill or oven to 200°C.
- Place the marinated wings on a grill rack or baking tray lined with foil.
- Grill for 10 minutes on each side, basting with leftover marinade.
- Ensure the wings are cooked through, with a slight char for extra flavor. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (should reach 75°C).
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
- Serve hot with a side of Peri Peri dipping sauce or mint yogurt dip.
Note
- You can adjust the spice level by reducing the chili powder or adding more honey.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can pan-fry the wings or bake them in the oven.
- For a smokier flavor, add a touch of smoked paprika or grill over charcoal.
