Combine and Marinate
Bake the Wings
Char and Serve
For an Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (360°F). Arrange wings in a single layer and cook for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway, until cooked through and crispy.
For a Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the wings for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through with nice char marks.
For a spicier version, add 1/2 tsp of regular red chili powder (cayenne) or 1-2 finely chopped green chilies to the second marinade.
For a vegetarian alternative, use this marinade on cauliflower florets, paneer cubes, or firm tofu. Adjust baking time accordingly (typically shorter).
Chicken is a high-quality source of lean protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle growth, and maintaining a healthy metabolism.
The use of curd (yogurt) in the marinade provides beneficial probiotics, which promote a healthy gut microbiome, aid digestion, and support the immune system.
Spices like turmeric, ginger, and garlic are known for their powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can help combat oxidative stress in the body.
Baking or grilling is a much healthier alternative to deep-frying, as it requires significantly less oil, resulting in lower overall fat and calorie content.
A serving of approximately 4 wings (around 260g) contains an estimated 450-550 calories, depending on the size of the wings and the amount of marinade absorbed. This is a general estimate and can vary.
They can be a relatively healthy choice. They are high in protein and baked instead of fried, which significantly reduces the fat content. The yogurt and spices also offer health benefits. To make them healthier, use low-fat yogurt and be mindful of the butter and salt.
Yes, absolutely! An air fryer works wonderfully. Cook them at 180°C (360°F) for about 15-18 minutes, flipping them halfway through. They will come out very crispy.
The most common reason for a watery marinade is using regular yogurt instead of hung curd or Greek yogurt. Regular yogurt contains a lot of whey (water), which thins out the marinade and prevents it from clinging to the chicken. Always use thick, strained yogurt.
For the most authentic flavor, mustard oil is highly recommended. If you cannot find it, you can use a neutral vegetable oil. To mimic the pungent flavor, you can warm the neutral oil slightly and add a tiny pinch of mustard powder, but the taste will not be exactly the same.
Yes, this marinade is perfect for boneless chicken breast or thigh pieces to make chicken tikka. Cut the chicken into 1.5-inch cubes and marinate as directed. The cooking time will be shorter, about 15-20 minutes in the oven or until cooked through.
