Ingredients

Yogurt Dip

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 ½ tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste

Chicken Wings

  • 2 ½ pounds chicken wings
  • 1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil.

Step 2
Place chicken wings into a large bowl, drizzle with oil, and toss until thoroughly coated.

Step 3
Stir paprika, cumin, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and black pepper together in a small bowl. Sprinkle spice mixture over wings and toss to coat.

Step 4
Arrange wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart so they aren't touching.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 40 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 6
Meanwhile, make the yogurt dip: Stir yogurt, lemon juice, honey, mint, cilantro, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Taste dip and season with additional salt and pepper as desired.

Step 7
Remove wings from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Serve with yogurt dip.
