Ingredients

Ingredients List
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander

  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom

  • ½ teaspoon hot chile powder

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 tablespoon water

  • 1 teaspoon salt, or more as needed

  • 5 large chicken wings, cut in 2, tips discarded


Directions

  1. Combine coriander, cumin, cardamom, chile powder, pepper, and cloves in a dry pan over low heat. Stir until fragrant. Remove from heat, add oil and water, and stir until combined. Set spice paste aside.

  2. Rub salt over wings in a shallow dish, then rub spice paste all over. Cover and refrigerate, 4 hours to overnight.

  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Add wings and cook, turning halfway, until well browned, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Cook's Note:

You can also cook these in an oiled grill pan.
