Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken wings
- 1 cup plain greek yogurt fat-free
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2-3 large garlic cloves finely minced
- ½ " ginger peeled and finely grated
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2-3 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
Instructions
- In a large bowl prepare marinade by mixing plain greek yogurt* with other ingredients (except chicken and cilantro).
- Then add chicken wings to the yogurt marinade. Mix thoroughly to coat all the chicken wings evenly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 1 hr**.
- Then cook the marinated chicken wings on the preheated charcoal grill or gas grill for 10-12 min on each side or until well done.
- Spread finely chopped cilantro and serve warm
Notes
- *Use only greek yogurt to marinate the chicken because it contains less water and makes the marinade thick enough to stick on to the wings. If you do not have greek yogurt you can use regular yogurt by removing its water to some extent. Just place the yogurt in few layers of cheese cloth lined over a large strainer. Place a bowl underneath to collect excess water. Put the bowl with a strainer in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours. Prepare greek yogurt this way well in advance.
- **The longer you marinate the chicken the more flavorful it will be. And if you decide to marinate the chicken wings for more than 1-2 hours, place them in the refrigerator.
