Chicken 65 Wings

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 Tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 Tbsp chicken 65 spice mix (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 Tbsp yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp water
  • salt (to taste)
  • oil (for frying)

Sauce

  • 2 tsp oil
  • 6 curry leaves
  • 1/8 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1/8 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 jalapeno or serrano
  • 1 tsp ginger (cut into matchsticks)
  • 1 tsp chicken 65 spice mix
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 2-3 Tbsp red chili sauce

Instructions

  1. Combine the wings, ginger-garlic paste, chicken 65 spices, cornstarch, yogurt, water, and egg. For the spices I use about 1/4 tsp of turmeric, paprika, chilli powder, black pepper, garam masala, cumin, coriander, and onion powder each. (If you are using a store-bought spice mix, go easy on the salt because most already contain it.)

  2. Allow the chicken to marinate for about a half-hour or so. (Optional, may skip this step).

  3. In a heavy-bottom pot or pan, add your oil. Fry the wings in batches at 375 F until golden brown.

Sauce

  1. Now let's make the sauce for the wings. In a pot or pan, add a teaspoon or two of oil.

  2. Toss in your cumin and mustard seeds. Once the mustard seeds start to pop, drop in your curry leaves, ginger, and sliced jalapeno. Sautee for a minute or two.

  3. Now add the remaining sauce ingredients - soy sauce, more spices, red chili sauce. Stir and combine. Note - if you like your wings on the sweeter side, feel free to use a sweet chili sauce.

  4. Now toss the wings in the sauce (you can also individually dip each one) and serve!
