Description
Grilled chicken wings marinated in yogurt, lime, garlic, and cumin for a tangy, tender treat that’s perfect for gatherings.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings (split into flats and drumettes if not already)
- 1 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (fresh)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the marinade. In a large bowl, stir together the yogurt, chopped cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the wings. Add the chicken wings and toss until every piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight gives the best flavor and tenderness).
- Preheat the grill. Heat your grill to medium-high. Clean the grates and lightly oil them to reduce sticking.
- Grill the wings. Place wings on the grill and cook for 20–25 minutes, turning every few minutes so they brown evenly.
- Check doneness. Wings are ready when they’re cooked through and the thickest part reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer.
- Serve. Transfer to a platter. Add lime wedges and extra cilantro if you like, and serve right away.
Notes
Marinate longer for deeper flavor; overnight is ideal. Oiling the grill grates helps prevent sticking.
