Ingredients
For the Chicken Wings Marinade
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- ¼ cup oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
For the Butter Sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the wings to a crispy, cooked finish.
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, curry powder, chili powder, garam masala, coriander, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Toss the chicken wings thoroughly in this marinade to coat evenly. Let them sit for 30 minutes at room temperature to absorb the flavors.
- Roast the Chicken Wings: Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip each wing to ensure even cooking. Roast for an additional 10 minutes or until the wings are no longer pink inside and have a nice roasted appearance.
- Make the Butter Sauce: Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped cilantro and lemon pepper seasoning, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer gently for about 30 seconds to meld the flavors.
- Toss Wings and Serve: Drizzle the seasoned butter sauce over the roasted wings and toss well to coat every piece evenly. Serve the wings immediately while hot and flavorful.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, pat the wings dry before marinating.
- You can adjust chili powder to control the heat level.
- Serve with a cooling yogurt dip to complement the spices.
- These wings are great for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
