Ingredients
  

  • 500-750 grams chicken drumettes, or wings
  • salt and pepper, as needed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala, heaping
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • pinch cayenne pepper, pinch or two
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, pressed through a garlic press
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • dash Sriracha Chili Garlic sauce, easily use a tablespoon
  • fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
  • Cool Minted Yogurt Dipping Sauce, OR make from a shortcut

Instructions
 

  • Wash and pat dry the chicken drumettes and or wings and pat them dry with a paper towel and place in a large bowl. Add to them 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, the paprika, garam masala, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and cayenne, and using your hands, mix/rub the spices into the chicken; set aside for a moment.
  • In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and Sriracha, and mix to blend, then pour this mixture over the chicken, rubbing it into the chicken, cover and refrigerate and allow it to marinate for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
  • When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 230 C, line a baking sheet with foil, and place a wire rack over the baking sheet. Remove the chicken from the yogurt marinade, and allow the excess to drip off; place the wings onto the wire rack, and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes, until slightly charred and crisp.
  • Serve garnished with a some cilantro leaves, and the Cool Minted Yogurt Dipping Sauce on the side.

Notes

Drumettes are called Chicken Wing Sticks at Tesco (I get pricing from Tesco), and are about 80 Baht/kilo. Full wings are 90 Baht/kilo. Going with 750 grams of drumettes, this is about 88 cents per serving for 2 servings.
