Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger paste
• Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Wet Wet Sauce:

4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelized.

6. Remove the chicken wings from the oven and toss them in the remaining wet wet sauce until they’re fully coated.
