Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, tandoori spice mix, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, cooking oil, and salt. Mix well to create a smooth marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for the best flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Prepare the Clay Oven

    If using a clay oven, preheat it by lighting wood chips inside until they start to smoke. This usually takes about 15 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken Wings

    Once the clay oven is ready, place the marinated chicken wings on a skewer or directly on a grilling rack. Cook in the clay oven for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the wings are cooked through and have a nice char.

  3. 5

    Check for Doneness

    Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken wings reaches at least 165°F (75°C). Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
