Who doesn’t love chicken wings?
I mean seriously – what’s better than chicken wings? Crispy chicken goodness with the maximum skin to meat ratio. Add a bit of smoky grilled goodness. Eat them with your hands. So tasty. So fun. OK – maybe I like chicken wings more than most people but how can you not love them? Especially buffalo chicken wings. That’s just artery clogging genius. Take a piece of chicken that is mostly fat anyway. Deep fry it. Toss in a sauce that is nothing more than Frank’s Red Hot sauce and butter. How can you go wrong? Absolutely delicious. Genius really. Might slap on a few pounds if you eat them often. But as a treat once in while…
Grilling is the secret to Indian spiced chicken wings
Grilling is a little better. Not deep fried at least. And this recipe doesn’t add melted butter. So that’s a step in a healthier direction. Lots of flavour. And a little less guilt. If that’s something that bothers you. I actually think grilling wings is the way to go. You get the crispy skin. You get the kiss of smoke. And you don’t have to heat up a vat of oil. You don’t have to worry about your house smelling like a KFC. Easier. But still delicious. I can still remember how surprised I was the first time I tried it. Might even be better than buffalo wings. If you don’t feel like Indian spiced chicken wings try them sprinkled with Old Bay and a bit of cayenne. Seriously. You can’t believe how good that it.
Indian spiced chicken wings – like tandoori but with the skin
Indian spiced chicken wings take the flavour into a new direction. Think tandoori but with the skin. It just works. The tamarind dipping sauce is a simplified version of the classic Indian tamarind chutney. That alone is work learning how to do. Next time you have a party mix it up and serve Indian spiced chicken wings with tamarind dipping sauce. Even if you don’t, at least try grilling your wings. That alone is a revelation.
