Shawarma-Spiced Chicken Wings
These delicious Shawarma-Spiced Baked Chicken Wings are marinated in a shawarma-inspired spice mix before being oven-baked and served with a lemon tzatziki dipping sauce.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs chicken wings
For the Shawarma Marinade:
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground paprika
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 lemon
For the Lemon Tzatziki Dipping Sauce:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 lemon
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp dried dill
- salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl, mixing to combine. Stir in the chicken wings to coat. Let marinate for 30 mins- a few hours.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or tin foil and set a metal baking rack on top of the baking sheet.
- Using tongs, lay the chicken wings on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken wings are crispy and cooked through. Keep an eye to make sure extra marinade isn’t dripping onto the baking sheet during baking and burning.
- If desired, finish the wings off by turning the broiler on high for 2-3 minutes (keep an eye on them!) to get the skin crispier.
- To make the dipping sauce, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together. Add salt and pepper to taste.
