Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper for a spicy kick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil plus extra for drizzling
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with non-stick cooking spray.
Prepare the Chicken Wings:
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving crispy wings.
Coat the Wings:
- In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, curry powder, paprika, ground cumin, turmeric, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Add the olive oil and balsamic vinegar, mixing well to form a paste.
Marinate the Wings:
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the curry spice paste. For best results, let the wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
Arrange on Rack:
- Place the coated chicken wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Make sure they are not touching each other to allow for even cooking. Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the wings for added crispiness.
Bake the Wings:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
Serve:
- Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool slightly. Transfer the wings to a serving platter, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
