Ingredients
  

  • 2 kg Chicken wings see notes
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 2 Long sweet peppers (cleaned and chopped) substitute Florina or banana pepper
  • 4 Garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoon Tomato paste
  • 4 teaspoon Salt fine sea salt
  • 2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 4 teaspoon Sumac
  • 4 teaspoon Paprika sweet
  • 2 teaspoon Oregano dried

Instructions
 

Prepare the marinade

  • Add the Greek yogurt, olive oil, sweet pepper, garlic, tomato paste, and all the spices to a blender. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
  • Transfer the marinade to a large bowl and add the chicken wings. Massage the wings thoroughly until they’re fully coated.
  • Cover and refrigerate for a few hours to let the flavours develop, or cook straight away if you're short on time.

Chargrill the Wings

  • Thread the marinated wings onto kebab skewers, rotisserie spits, or place them directly onto a grill grate over hot charcoal.
  • Grill over high heat, turning frequently, until the wings are cooked through and evenly charred on all sides. They’ll take around 20 minutes, but keep an eye on them. (See notes)

Notes

  1. Chicken Wings: You can cook them whole or separate into drumettes and wingettes. Removing the wing tips is optional.
  2. Charcoal Heat Test: You want the heat hot enough that you can't hold your hand above the grill for more than 3 seconds. At that heat, the wings cook pretty fast, so make sure you’re keeping an eye on them and turning as you go.
  3. Rotisserie Cooking: This method will take longer, especially if the wings are raised higher above the coals or cooking alongside other items. It's ideal for slow, even roasting.
