    Baked Masala Chicken Wings

    Ever since I came across this baked masala chicken wings recipe, I wanted to fire up the oven. I was excited as this would fit the theme for this month’s baking theme and thought even U would like it. When I mentioned I was going to bake these, he showed no interest what so ever and refused to even taste it. I should have known better, he does not like dry chicken and he is not very fond of Buffalo wings either. Since these have Indian spices, I thought he might enjoy eating. I put off the bake until this past weekend.

    Since Mr.U was not going to eat the masala wings, I made it for myself for Saturday night dinner. While I was prepping the wings, I was in two minds and was skeptical about this dish. It was not the recipe but I was not sure if I would like eating the wings with the skin on. Since I had already started the preparation, I went ahead and baked. To my surprise, I liked the masala wings.

    Chicken wings are seasoned with spices and baked until brown, for about an hour and coated with a masala sauce. The base for the sauce is tamarind paste and the spices used are common everyday Indian spices. The sauce was spicy and the tamarind gave the sauce the required tanginess. I liked the wings but next time, I would tweak the sauce a bit more to my liking. Though I liked the masala wings, there was something missing in the sauce. I could not put my finger on. It could be the jaggery that I left out. If you like chicken wings, do give these a try and please do adjust the spices and the tamarind paste to your taste. Or make your own sauce to suite your palate. Wings are served with a sour cream dip which I did not make.

      Looks like a lot of thought went into making the dish 🙂 It sounds spicy, tangy and being baked a lot more healthy than the fried version.
