These Tandoori Chicken Tika Wings combine Indian inspired spices, live fire cooking, and smoky ghee basting on the Kamado Joe. Finished with a mint cilantro sauce, they deliver crispy skin, tender meat, and layers of bold flavor.
Add the ginger and garlic to a blender and blend them up. Add the paprika, garam masala, coriander, cinnamon, cornstarch, salt, and Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth.
Place the wings into a container large enough to hold them and coat them evenly in the marinade. Refrigerate overnight.
Set Up The Kamado Joe
Clean out the grill well to remove loose ash. Set the grill up for a two zone cook using the charcoal divider with charcoal loaded on one side.
Light the coals using a propane torch or your preferred method. Place the grates back in close to the coals. Leave everything open and allow the grill to heat up.
Make The Mint Cilantro Sauce
Add cilantro, mint, cumin, lemon juice, salt, and water to a blender. Blend until combined.
Taste for seasoning and add additional lemon juice and salt if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Grill The Wings
Place the wings onto the grill over direct heat. Spray the grates with oil if sticking occurs.
Once the wings are mostly cooked on the outside, baste them with ghee over the hot coals in batches. Continue basting to allow the smoke from the dripping ghee to flavor the wings.
Move the wings to the cooler side of the grill and close the lid so they can finish cooking through.
Rest And Serve
Let the wings rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
