Crispy Indian Dry Wings with Yogurt Dipping Sauce

How can super-crispy chicken wings get any better? Give ’em a dusting of Indian spice and dunk ’em in a tangy yogurt sauce. BOOM!

O.K., so we already told you how to make wings in the oven that have crazy crispy skin. Really, you’d swear they’d been deep fried. That kind of crispy. Now that you know how to do it, let’s add some extra flavor to the mix.

This is a seriously great wing recipe. You bake the wings like we told you to. Then when they come out you spatter them with lime juice, sprinkle with a curry-powder-based seasoning then sink them into a simple yogurt sauce. Too good. Enjoy!
