Crispy masala wings with creamy tikka dipping sauce

Step 1

Prep the Chicken Wings: Pat your chicken wings dry. In a large bowl, toss the wings with avocado oil, baking powder, and all the spices (cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt).

Step 2

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Air fry the wings for 24 minutes, flipping halfway through, about 12 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.

Step 3

While the wings are cooking, melt the butter and sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes in a large pan. Set aside.

Step 4

Prepare the Tikka Masala Dipping Sauce: In a pan, melt butter and sauté onion, ginger, and garlic for 1-2 mins. Add spices and tomato paste, cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Stir in tomato sauce, cook for 5 mins then add cream and lemon juice and cook for 3-4 mins. Mix the sauce until smooth and season with salt. You can use a blender for a smoother texture.

Step 6

Once the wings are cooked, toss them in the garlic butter and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Step 7

Serve the wings with the creamy tikka dipping sauce on the side and lime wedges.

Step 8

Enjoy!
