Ingredients:

• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Tandoori seasoning
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger paste
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• Salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, Tandoori seasoning, tomato paste, lemon juice, vegetable oil, minced garlic, ginger paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.

2. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you prefer a spicier sauce, you can chili powder or a pinch of cayenne pepper.

3. Take a large ziplock bag or a shallow dish and place the chicken wings in it. Pour the tandoori seasoning sauce over the chicken wings, making sure they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight. This marinating process will infuse the flavors into the chicken and make it more tender.

4. Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. If using a grill, make sure it is clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

5. Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and shake off any excess sauce. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting.

6. Grill the chicken wings for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a nice charred appearance. If using an oven, place the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through.

7. While grilling or baking, baste the chicken wings with the reserved marinade every 5 minutes to keep them moist and enhance the flavor.

8. Once cooked, remove the wings from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve the Tandoori Seasoning Chicken Wings hot with a side of mint yogurt sauce, sliced onions, and lemon wedges.
