Ingredients
  • 2kg chicken wings/niblets (washed and drained)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (light or dark)
  • 1½ tbsp tandoori powder (I use Rajah brand)
  • 1 - 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp chilli sauce (I use a brand known as Mr Naga)
  • chopped coriander for garnishing (optional)
Method
  1. Wash and drain your chicken niblets/wings. To your chicken add 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1½ tbsp of dry tandoori powder, if you aren't using powder then a paste in equal quantity should be fine....
  2. add 1- 2 tbsp lemon juice, ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp black pepper. I added ½ a teaspoon of chilli sauce/pickle - this one is available in the UK and is called Mr Naga. It's made from Scotch Bonnet Peppers and is fiery and hot. My cooked wings weren't spicy, they were mild and my children enjoyed them; by all means add 1 tsp or more if you want REALLY spicy wings! You can use any chilli sauce you like if you can't get hold of this.
  3. To cook the wings you can oven bake or pan fry them. I would recommend baking them in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes at between gas mark 5 - 6, as the wings have skin on them which provides fat and keeps the chicken tender but crisps up nicely. I usually air fry my wings for 15 - 20 minutes in my Phillips Airfryer - I will post a review and video of what this is and how it works, it's basically like a convection oven but better. Alternatively heat a little oil in a pan, add your wings and shallow fry for 10-15 minutes either side. The wings should brown nicely while cooking, your kitchen should have some wonderful aromas that'll make your taste buds water!
  4. Once cooked through garnish with a sprinkling of finely chopped coriander and serve your chicken wings. Goes great with chips, some salad or rice.
