This combination of spices creates a really flavorful sauce that’s perfectly matched with wings.
Baked Indian Wings
These wings make a great alternative to your regular buffalo wings and will be a real treat for whoever you are serving them too. They are perfectly juicy thanks to the marinade and they are quick and easy to prep. They were a real hit in our house and I can’t wait for you guys to try them!
How long does it take to bake chicken wings in the oven?
These wings will take around 35 to 45 minutes to cook at 425F. The wings need to be marinated for a couple of hours before cooking them, so do allow time for that. Don’t skip the marinating, it really does make all of the difference!
Top Tips to Make This Chicken Tikka Masala Baked Wings Recipe
Pat the wings dry before marinating them. Spray the rack with oil before adding the wings so that they don’t stick and use a tin underneath it to catch any sauce or juices. Don’t let the wings touch on the rack so that they cook evenly. Serve immediately!
