Tandoori Chicken Wings
Instructions
If the wings are not already cut, remove the tips and split at the joints. Pat dry completely and remove excess fat.
Combine yogurt, lemon juice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, allspice, garlic powder, and ginger in a large resealable plastic bag and mix until dissolved.
Add the chicken wings to the marinade and mix. For best flavor, seal the bag, remove as much air as possible, and refrigerate the chicken for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight. Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. The wings should be coated, but not soggy.
Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes and spray basket with nonstick spray. Place the wings in an even layer (don’t overcrowd the basket; you’ll probably need to air fry in batches).
Cook for 10 minutes, flip and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 170°F and the skin is crisp and golden brown. (Please note that cooking time may vary depending on the fryer.)
Serve with chopped cilantro and tzatziki sauce for dipping (optional).
