Crispy baked chicken wings coated in a fiery, aromatic glaze are the ultimate weekend snack or centerpiece for a casual dinner. By using baking powder to ensure the skin gets an extra crunch in the oven before meeting the sauce, you get a satisfying texture that holds up against the punchy heat of Mr Naga pickle and fresh chillies.
The base of the sauce relies on caramelised shallots, cherry tomatoes, and a blend of Madras curry powder and turmeric to balance that signature Naga heat. It is a dish that leans into depth rather than just pure spice, making the sauce cling to every wing as it bubbles in the pan.
Serve these hot with a generous scattering of fresh coriander to cut through the spice. Whether you are hosting friends for a game night or just want a high-impact appetizer that requires minimal prep, these wings offer a serious step up from your standard wing-night routine.
