Indian Butter Chicken Wings are a flavorful appetizer combining crispy roasted wings with a rich, spiced butter sauce infused with aromatic Indian spices and fresh cilantro. Marinated in a robust blend of curry powder, chili, garam masala, and lemon juice, these wings boast a perfect balance of heat, tang, and buttery richness, ideal for serving at gatherings or as a special snack.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Chicken Wings:

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • ¼ cup oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Butter Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the chicken wings.
  2. Marinate Chicken Wings: In a large bowl, combine oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, curry powder, chili powder, garam masala, coriander, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken wings thoroughly in this marinade to coat evenly. Let the wings rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Roast Wings: Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip the wings over and roast for an additional 10 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  4. Prepare Butter Sauce: While the wings roast, melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped cilantro and lemon pepper seasoning, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer gently for about 30 seconds to infuse the flavors.
  5. Toss Wings in Butter Sauce: Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Drizzle the warm, seasoned butter sauce over the wings and toss well to coat each piece evenly.
  6. Serve: Serve the Indian Butter Chicken Wings immediately while hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, pat the wings dry before marinating.
  • Adjust chili powder to your preferred spice level.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor in the marinade.
  • Ensure wings are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • This dish pairs well with a cooling yogurt dip or naan bread.
