Expert Tips for Perfect Baked Tandoori Chicken Wings

  • For extra crispy wings, pat them dry with paper towels before seasoning and baking.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; arrange the wings in a single layer for even cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the spice level according to your preference.
  • For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken wings in the tandoori sauce for at least 30 minutes before baking.
