I suppose this would work with chicken too…

Tandoori Turkey Wings

I made these using spices from the Penzeys Spices catalog. Their Rogan Josh blend can make just about anything taste really good.

Ingredients:

• ~3 pounds Turkey Wings
  
• 1 TBSP Rogan Josh seasoning
  
• 1 TBSP Tandoori seasoning
  
• 1 TSP Smoked sweet paprika
  
• 1 TBSP Kosher salt
  
• ¼ cup Olive oil
  
• 1 TBSP Greek yogurt
  

Directions:

1. Remove the wing tips from the chicken wings
   
2. Mix the seasonings, paprika, salt, oil, and yogurt thoroughly
   
3. Add to a resealable plastic bag with turkey wings
   
4. Marinate for at least an hour
   
5. Build a HOT fire, preferably charcoal
   
6. Raise the coals as close to the grill as you can let the grill heat for 3-5 minutes
   
7. Put the wings directly over the fire, skin side down for 3 or 4 minutes or until they are charred
   
8. Flip the wings over and char the other side
   
9. Once both sides are charred, move the wings off the heat and lower the coals
   
10. If possible, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until their internal temperature hits 170°
    
11. Remove from heat and allow to sit for a couple of minutes before serving
    

These are delicious served with a cucumber sauce for dipping. Store bought naan is a great addition to the meal.
