Number Of Ingredients 17

2 pounds chicken wings, separated at drumette joint
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon asafoetida
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons tamarind concentrate, preferably Tamcon brand, available at specialty stores and online

Steps:

  • Put the wings in a large bowl, followed by honey, olive oil, salt, garam masala, cumin, paprika, and cayenne. Toss to combine, then transfer to a zip-top bag. Let rest 30 minutes, overnight, or up to several days in the refrigerator.
  • Bring 2 cups of water to a simmer in a small saucepan, then add the asafoetida, ginger, cayenne, and garam masala. Meanwhile, toast cumin and fennel in a small skillet until they're fragrant and slightly smoky. Transfer to a small bowl to cool, then grind the seeds in a mortar and pestle until they're coarse and sandy. Add to water-and-spice mixture, followed by the sugar, and stir to combine. Add tamarind and continue cooking for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. After 20 minutes, check chutney for consistency-it should look like a chocolate sauce. Remove from heat to cool. Meanwhile, line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer. Bake 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer wings to a large bowl. Toss with the chutney, then replace wings on the rack and bake again, 5-10 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Remove chicken wings and serve.
