🧂 Ingredients for Chicken Curry Wings
Here’s everything you’ll need to make juicy, spicy, and flavorful Chicken Curry Wings that truly hit the spot:
- 1 kg chicken wings: Cleaned and cut for even cooking.
- Salt to taste: Start with a little and adjust as needed.
- 1 tsp soy sauce: Adds depth and umami flavor to the chicken.
- 1 tsp vinegar: Helps tenderize and balance the richness.
- 1/4 cup cooking oil: For sautéing—use vegetable, sunflower, or canola oil.
- 1 onion, finely chopped: Adds sweetness and a base for your sauce.
- 1 tsp garlic, minced: Adds warmth and depth.
- 1 tsp tomato paste: Brings a tangy richness to the curry.
- 1 paprika, finely chopped: Optional, but adds color and flavor.
- 1 tsp cumin powder: Earthy spice that enhances the curry base.
- 3–4 tsp curry powder: The star of the dish! Adjust to taste.
- 1 Oxo cube or 1 Maggi cube: Boosts savory flavor—dissolve in the sauce.
- 3–4 tbsp plain natural yogurt: Makes the sauce creamy and slightly tangy.
- 1/2 cup water: Helps build the sauce—adjust for your desired thickness.
Marinate the Chicken
Cut the chicken wings into smaller pieces for easier cooking. Place them in a large bowl. Add salt, vinegar, and soy sauce, then mix well until the chicken is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let the wings marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This helps the flavors soak in and makes the chicken extra juicy and flavorful when cooked.
Fry the Chicken
Heat the oil in a wide pan or deep fryer until it’s hot and ready. Drop in your marinated wings and let them sizzle! Fry on high heat first to get that irresistible crispy skin, then turn the heat down and cook gently until the inside is tender and juicy. Golden, crunchy perfection on the outside—soft and flavorful inside. That’s what we’re going for!
Add Onions & Garlic
Once those wings are beautifully golden, it’s time to build flavor. In the same pan, toss in your chopped onions and minced garlic. Let them cook together, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn soft and everything starts smelling rich and delicious. This is where the magic begins to come alive in your curry base.
Build That Bold Curry Bas
Now stir in the tomato paste—it adds a rich tang to balance the spices. Sprinkle in the cumin, curry powder, and your chopped paprika for that deep, warm kick. Drop in the Oxo cube (or Maggi), then mix everything well until the spices melt into the onions, forming a thick, fragrant curry base that smells irresistible.
Stir in Yogurt and Simmer
Lower the heat slightly and toss in the chopped carrots, giving them a quick stir so they start to soften in the spiced base. Then, add the plain natural yogurt and stir it gently—it’ll turn the sauce rich, creamy, and smooth. Pour in about half a cup of water to loosen the mixture just a bit, then let it simmer. The sauce will thicken slightly as it bubbles, coating the chicken wings—and tender carrots—with flavor in every bite.
Adjust the Sauce & Let It Simmer
Add water gradually—a few tablespoons at a time—until you get the curry thickness you like. Let the mixture simmer gently on low heat. This slow simmering brings all the bold spices, yogurt, and chicken juices together into one rich, flavorful sauce that hugs every wing.
Serve & Enjoy!
Serve your flavorful chicken curry wings hot with a side of fluffy rice. Use a deep plate or bowl to capture all that rich, aromatic curry sauce. Want to turn up the heat? Drizzle with chili sauce or garnish with freshly chopped herbs like coriander or parsley for a vibrant, finishing touch.
