  • Prep the chicken wings: If not already cut, remove the tips of chicken wings, then split them at the joint. Pat dry with paper towels and trim off any excess loose fat using kitchen shears.

    How to make Chicken Wings in Pan
    🔘Took a pan & heat for a while. Add butter, I recommend to use butter as it is very tasty & gives a marvellous flavour to wings. Unsalted butter can also be used(optional).
    🔘Put ginger and garlic paste into it. 
    🔘Pour some lemon juice. 
    🔘Now last but not the least, add marinated chicken wings into the pan and cover it with the lid for 15-20 mins.
    Instructions for marinating Chicken Wings For Oven/Air Fryer (Optional)
    Oven Directions
    Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the wings, skin side up. Brush any leftover marinade over the wings. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 425°F for 30 minutes.
    Remove from the oven and brush the wings lightly with oil. Switch the oven to 'Broil'. Broil the chicken wings in the oven, 1-2 minutes on each side, until the skin is crisp and slightly charred.

    Air Fryer Instructions
    Preheat the air fryer for 2 minutes at 375°F. Place the chicken wings in a single layer in the basket, then cook for 22 to 25 minutes.
    Remove the basket and shake it twice during the cook time, about every 8 minutes. Now increase the heat to 400°F and cook for 2 to 4 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

Notes

  • To make a big batch of these chicken wings, I recommend using the pan. For just the five of us in my family, I prefer the pan. It does take two batches to go through a pound of chicken wings, but they turn out so crispy that it's worth the extra step.
  • Pat dry the chicken wings to enable even marination and cooking.
  • For a milder spice level, cut garam masala and chili powder in half.
  • Since the wings have skin on, marinate them for a maximum of 15-20 mins  for the flavors to seep in.
  • For an extra flavor boost, brush the leftover marinade (if any) over the chicken wings before cooking.
  • Fenugreek leaves are optional, but highly recommended as they add an earthy and floral aroma and flavor to the marinade.
  • The nutrition facts below are my estimates and are based on 5 chicken wings per serving. If you are following any diet plan, I recommend cross-checking with your preferred nutrition calculator.
