Indian Masala Chicken Wings

Recipe View Toast the Spices: In a dry pan over low heat, combine the ground coriander, cumin, cardamom, chili powder, black pepper, and cloves. Stir constantly until the spices become fragrant (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.

Recipe View Create the Masala Paste: Add the vegetable oil and water to the toasted spices. Stir until a smooth, thick paste forms. This is your flavor bomb!

Recipe View Marinate the Wings: In a shallow dish, rub salt all over the chicken wings. Then, generously coat each wing with the prepared masala paste, ensuring every nook and cranny is covered.[5 minutes]

Recipe View Refrigerate: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. The longer the marination, the deeper the flavor penetration.[4 hours - overnight]

Recipe View Grill to Perfection: Preheat your outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.

Recipe View Grill the Wings: Place the marinated chicken wings on the hot grill. Cook, turning halfway, until they are beautifully browned and cooked through. This should take approximately 15 to 20 minutes. To ensure they're done, an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
