Tips and Notes

  • Marinade: Marinate the chicken wings in a mixture of yogurt, tandoori spices, garlic, and ginger for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
  • Grilling: Grill the wings over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a nice char. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Raita: For the mango-chile raita, combine yogurt with diced ripe mango, chopped cilantro, diced green chilies, and a pinch of salt. Adjust the spice level to your preference.
  • Storage: Store any leftover wings and raita in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the wings gently on the grill or in the oven to restore their texture.
