Ingredients

  • 3 pounds (1.5k) chicken wings
  • 1-3 teaspoons (5-15ml) lemon juice (I used 1 teaspoon)
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon (2-3g) white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon (2g) nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon teaspoon (2g) smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon (1g) dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon (2-3g) coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon (.5g) cayenne pepper (adjust for heat tolerance)
  • ½ cup (113g) yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon (3-4g) bouillon powder or ¾ teaspoon salt
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk the spices: lemon juice, garlic, paprika, nutmeg, thyme, cayenne pepper, coriander, bouillon, and yogurt. Adjust salt to taste.
  • Place the chicken wings and marinade in a ziplock bag or enclosed storage and marinate for an hour (preferably overnight in the fridge).
  • Preheat oven to 425℉ (220℃). Line a baking pan with foil, top with a wire rack, and arrange the chicken wings in a single layer. While they're baking, the oil will drip into the bottom of the pan for crispier wings.
  • Bake wings at 425℉ (220℃) until cooked through and skin is crispy, 40-45 minutes. Turn wings over halfway through, roughly 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and serve while still hot with your favorite chicken wing sauce, low-fat ranch dressing, or tzatziki. Enjoy!

Notes

  • To cut down on fat and ensure crispness, roast on a cookie rack. Want easy cleanup? Line your baking pan with aluminum foil, and voila! You're good to go.
  • Marinating overnight is ideal, but marinating as long as possible will work.
  • Please remember that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
