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!
