⅛ tsp. Nutmeg Powder

½ tbsp. Honey

3-4 Sprigs - Fresh Coriander (finely chopped)

Method :-

For Cutting :-

Place the chicken wing on your cutting board and position a sharp knife directly between the exposed joint. Press down and cut through the joint . Use a sharp knife to cut straight through the wingette & drumette and then the tip, cleanly separating all three pieces

Use the wingette and drumette in the recipe and discard the wing tips

Wash them again (if needed), pat-dry and set aside for later use(covered)

For Marinating :-

In a large bowl add all the ingredients mentioned under the marination list one by one. Mix well

Next add all the chicken wings to the bowl. Mix well until all the chicken wings gets well coated with the marinade

Cover it & keep in refrigerator for minimum 4 hrs/overnight for best results

For Baking :-

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C)

Take out the wings from the refrigerator, remove the cling film, and with the help of a tong/fork/hands, toss again

Line a baking tray with butter paper and transfer wings to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the wings with the remaining marinade mix

Transfer the baking tray to OTG and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 mins, flip the wings & baste with the remaining marinade and continue to cook until golden on the outside and no longer pink in the center, about 25 more minutes.

Once the chicken wings are cooked properly, take out from the oven & set aside

For Sauce :-

Heat ½ tbsp of vegetable oil + 20 g butter in a non-stick pan. Add minced garlic to the pan and stir for 1-2 mins on medium flame

Next add sriracha/red chilli sauce + vinegar + chilli sauce + nutmeg powder + honey to the pan. Mix well and stir for 1-2 mins. Cook until slightly thickened

Next add the baked chicken wings to the pan. Add freshly chopped coriander and toss the chicken wings with the help of tong/spatula until all the wings get well coated with the prepared sauce. Switch off the gas and serve with chilled Cheesy Dip
