Ingredients
- vegetable oil - 1.5 tablespoons (for cooking, about 1.5 tablespoons)
- garlic cloves - 12 cloves (about 12 grains, minced)
- onion - watch the video to see (chopped)
- chicken wings - 3 lbs (cleaned and cut into drums and flats)
- scotch bonnet pepper - 0.5 pepper (half pepper with seeds, optional for spiciness)
- fresh ground black pepper - watch the video to see (to taste)
- Caribbean green seasoning - 2 tablespoons (a blend of herbs and spices, about 2 tablespoons)
- ground roasted jeera (cumin) - watch the video to see (to taste, used along with char masala)
- char masala - watch the video to see (to taste, can substitute with extra cumin if unavailable)
- curry powder - 2.5 tablespoons (homemade or favorite brand, about 2.5 tablespoons)
- water - 1.5 cups (to cook wings and create sauce, about 1.5 cups)
- salt - watch the video to see (to taste)
- chopped shadow benny (cilantro) - 2 tablespoons (about 2 tablespoons, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Heat 1.5 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and about 12 cloves of minced garlic. Stir quickly without lowering the heat to allow the flavors to bloom.
- Add spices and seasoning: Add half a scotch bonnet pepper (with seeds if you like it spicy), fresh ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons of Caribbean green seasoning, ground roasted jeera (cumin), char masala, and 2.5 tablespoons of curry powder. Stir well to combine and cook for a few minutes to develop the flavors.
- Add chicken wings: Add the 3 lbs of cleaned chicken wings cut into drums and flats to the pan. Increase the heat slightly to sear and coat the wings thoroughly with the curry base.
- Add water and cook: Pour in 1.5 cups of water and add salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Cook uncovered for about 12-18 minutes, or until the wings are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened to your liking.
- Finish and garnish: Turn off the heat and stir in about 2 tablespoons of chopped shadow benny (cilantro). Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, optionally with roti or your preferred side.
