Ingredients
For wings:
- 2 tbsps plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsps olive oil divided
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ tsp minced fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp garam masala
- 1 tbsp sea salt
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp turmeric
- ¼ tsp cayenne
- 2 lbs chicken wings
For sauce:
- 2 cups fresh cilantro
- 1 cup Greek yogurt plain
- 1 garlic clove peeled
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- ½ tsp Kosher salt
- ½ tsp cumin
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Crank up your oven to a sizzling 400 F and line up a sheet pan with parchment paper like it’s the red carpet at the Oscars.
- Next, in a bowl of apt proportion, mix together 1 tablespoon olive oil along with everything else except the stars – the wings. Stir it all up..
- Wing time! Toss them into the bowl and make sure they get completely coated in the mixture.
- Lay them out on your prepared sheet pan in single file please.
- Give them another brush of olive oil to make them shine.
- Bake those bad boys until they’re cooked through and their skin is as crispy as autumn leaves – about 40 minutes or so.
- While the wings cook, make the Cilantro Yogurt Dipping Sauce.
- Toss the cilantro, into the belly of your food processor and give it a good whirl until it’s all chopped up.
- Next, add Greek yogurt, garlic, lime juice, salt and cumin to the party and blend until they’re all mingling nicely and smooth as a baby’s bottom.
- While your food processor is doing its thing slowly introduce olive oil to the mix. Let it work its magic to emulsify the sauce.
- Serve with the Tandoori-style wings.
- EAT IT!

Brian Gerard (Lewandowski) writes books critics call "aggressively adequate" — better than "aggressively terrible" but somehow more concerning, like a smoke detector that only goes off on Tuesdays.
He once traded a MetroCard for a pitchfork on a subway platform and now uses it exclusively for dramatic pointing. He lives on a farm outside Charlottesville, Virginia with a partner who smiles politely at his life choices, a pig named Trouble McFussbucket who has opinions about the sofa, and a five-pound dog named Professor Archibald Pickles who appears to be held together entirely by anxiety and unearned confidence.
See his Amazon author page and buy his books before he spends the royalties on the pig.
Inheriting absurdism from Vonnegut and Adams and weaponized failure from Moore, he writes about conflicted everymen stumbling through supernatural chaos. He has published "Not Bukowski" and "Slop and Swill from a Festering Mind," and has two new novels seeking a publisher: "Truth Tastes Like Pennies" (available to paid Substack subscribers June 1) and "Elliot Nessie."
He remains unconvinced that birds aren't surveillance drones.
