Spicy chicken wings. Bring more variety to your table with this spicy version of your favorite chicken wings. Simply marinate wings in a delicious spice mixture and bake to perfection. With a side of pickled red cabbage and mustard-mayo dip, it’s guaranteed to make entertaining a breeze.

With a top-notch position on the menu of fast food chains and pop up restaurants, the enduring popularity of chicken wings can’t be denied. You might be very familiar with the different variations of these lip-smacking nibbles, but have you ever tried spicy chicken wings flavored with spices?

Here’s the deal.

These chicken wings are all about the delicious touch of aromatic Indian spices. Wings are coated in an easy-to-make yet lip-smacking marinade and baked (or even fried) to perfection.

Start with prepping the chicken wings. Separate the wings into three parts – drummettes (meatiest part), wingette (middle part) and wing tip. Discard the wing tip. Once the wings are prepped, pat dry really well with a paper towel. If you’re not a huge fan of wings, use drumsticks or even whole chicken cut into medium-sized pieces.

Next up, the marinade for spicy chicken wings. To marinate the wings, I decided to go with my favorite spice mix I usually use to make the most delicious baked chicken. It’s a delicious combo of minced garlic, minced ginger, ground turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin,garam masala and a little oil to keep the chicken moist and yum.

Now, all that you need to do is preheat your oven and bake the wings.

Ok, while the wings are in the oven, make the pickled red cabbage and mustard-mayo dip. Both are super simple to make. For the pickled cabbage, toss the shredded leaves in a tangy mixture of apple cider vinegar, green chillies and salt. The mustard-mayo dip is a delicious combo of mayonnaise, dijon mustard and coriander (cilantro) leaves.

The combo is lip-smacking delicious. You really need to make these.

Crispy outside, juicy and tender inside, trust me, every bite of these spicy chicken wings taste so good.
