Shawarma is good, wings are good, why not shawarma wings? These dry-rubbed grilled wings take on heat from Cambodian hot sauce and aromatic spice from Villa Jerada's Shawarma spice. A cool, refreshing yogurt sauce cuts through the big wing flavor for the perfect backyard bbq starter. 

Ingredients

• 1 – 1 ½ pounds chicken drumettes and/or wings
• 4 tablespoons Villa Jerada Shawarma Spice
• 1 cup yogurt
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Yeak's Chruk Hot Sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• juice of half a lemon

Directions

1. Combine chicken, shawarma spice, Chruk sauce, olive oil and a pinch of salt in a bowl to marinate at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours; bring to room temperature before cooking.
2. Combine yogurt, cilantro, parsley and lemon juice in a bowl with a pinch of salt, shawarma spice and a squeeze of Chruk hot sauce for heat. 
3. Grill wings until cooked through and nicely caramelized.
4. Serve with yogurt sauce, a hit of extra Chruk sauce if you like it spicy and a cold beer.

Pro Tip: Make the yogurt sauce a couple of hours ahead to let the flavors meld!
