For national chain wing spots, Buffalo Wild Wings and Hot Wings makes great chicken wings and have so many choices. Tandoori chicken is a popular Indian dish and a favorite world wide. It always made me wonder why Tandoori Chicken Wings were not available.
I thought I would give it a shot with normal marination we traditionally use for Tandoori chicken and use it on chicken wings. If you want the more traditional tandoori chicken recipe cooked in an air fryer, check it out here.

Notes
- For additional flavor, sprinkle chat masala onto the chicken wings and serve with thinly sliced onions.
