Craving that delicious smoky BBQ taste but don't have access to a grill? No worries! With just a sandwich press (panini maker) and some simple ingredients, you can recreate the mouthwatering flavor of grilled chicken wings right in your kitchen.

This recipe is perfect for those who live in apartments, don’t have a garden, or just want a quick and tasty meal without lighting a fire.

Ingredients:

About 20 chicken wings
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp chili flakes (or to taste)
1 tsp dried mint
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried thyme or oregano
4 tbsp plain yogurt (strained or regular)
1 tsp tomato paste
2 tbsp olive oil
Juice of half a lemon

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Chicken:
    Make small slits in the chicken wings using a knife. This helps the marinade soak in better and makes the meat extra flavorful.

  2. Make the Marinade:
    In a bowl, mix all the spices (cumin, salt, chili flakes, mint, black pepper, thyme). Add yogurt, tomato paste, olive oil, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined. Strained (Greek-style) yogurt is ideal, but regular yogurt works too.

  3. Marinate the Wings:
    Coat the chicken wings with the marinade and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour — longer if you have time.

  4. Cook in the Sandwich Press:
    Preheat your sandwich press. Once hot, place the marinated chicken wings on the grill. Close the lid and cook for about 20–25 minutes, flipping occasionally if needed. The wings should be golden and cooked through.

  5. Serve and Enjoy:
    Serve your BBQ-style chicken wings hot, straight from the press. They pair beautifully with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.

With this easy recipe, you don’t need a grill to enjoy BBQ goodness. It’s quick, tasty, and perfect for weeknights or gatherings. Try it out and bring that smoky flavor indoors!
