Instructions
  1. 1
    Prep the Wings:
    • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
    • Place them on a wire rack over a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least an hour, up to 24 hours, to air dry.
  2. 2
    Make the Tikka Masala Rub:
    • In a small bowl, mix ground cumin, ground coriander, garlic powder, ginger powder, paprika, ground turmeric, salt, and black pepper.
    • Rub the wings with a little avocado oil (or melted butter), then coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
  3. 3
    Grill the Wings:
    • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (165-180°C).
    • Place the wings on the hot grates, ensuring they are not crowded.
    • Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until crispy and cooked through (internal temperature should reach at least 74°C, ideally 82°C for tenderness).
  4. 4
    Prepare the Tikka Masala Sauce:
    • In a small saucepan, mix plain yogurt, tomato sauce, butter, heavy cream, honey, garam masala, lemon juice, fresh coriander, ground cumin, ground coriander, dark muscovado sugar, salt, sweet paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
    • Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until well combined and heated through.
  5. 5
    Coat the Wings:

    Once the wings are cooked, toss them in a bowl with the tikka masala sauce until evenly coated.

  6. 6
    Finish on the Grill:

    Place the sauced wings back on the grill for a few minutes to caramelize the sauce and crisp up the wings.

  7. 7
    Serve:
    • Serve the wings hot, garnished with extra chopped fresh coriander and sesame seeds.
    • Enjoy with extra tikka masala sauce on the side for dipping.
Note
  • For extra heat, add more cayenne pepper to the sauce.
  • These wings can also be cooked in the oven if you don't have a grill.
