Broiled Curry Chicken Wings | Garam Masala Wings
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken wings
- 10 ½ teaspoons garam masala converted for ease to 2 1/2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- ½ teaspoon sea salt or to taste
- 2 tablespoons ghee or oil of your choice
- 1 tablespoon ginger cut into sticks
- 1 onion cut into rings
Instructions
- Position the top oven rack about 8 inches from the broiler and pre-heat your broiler for 15-20 minutes.
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the tomato paste, garam masala, salt, and half of the ginger sticks. This forms a rich, flavorful marinade that perfectly coats the wings.
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl. Toss to coat.
- Brush the baking sheet with oil or ghee. Lay onion rings on a baking sheet and arrange the wings on top. Broil them for 10 minutes on each side, allowing the intense heat to perfectly crisp the skin while keeping the inside succulent.
- Once broiled to perfection, remove the wings, and drizzle them with the fresh juice of half a lemon. Garnish with the remaining ginger sticks.
