Crispy Oven-Baked Moroccan Chicken Wings with Creamy Yogurt Sauce
Ingredients Needed
For the Chicken Wings:
-
2 ½ pounds chicken wings
-
1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
-
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
-
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Yogurt Sauce:
-
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
-
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
-
1 ½ tablespoons honey
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
-
½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with non-stick aluminum foil.
-
Place the chicken wings in a large bowl, drizzle with oil, and toss until evenly coated.
-
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cumin, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice blend over the wings and toss to coat.
-
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart.
-
Bake the wings for 40-45 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165°F (74°C).
-
While the wings bake, prepare the yogurt dip: Mix yogurt, lemon juice, honey, mint, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as desired.
-
Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Serve alongside the yogurt dip.
