Steps:
- Put the wings in a large bowl, followed by honey, olive oil, salt, garam masala, cumin, paprika, and cayenne. Toss to combine, then transfer to a zip-top bag. Let rest 30 minutes, overnight, or up to several days in the refrigerator.
- Bring 2 cups of water to a simmer in a small saucepan, then add the asafoetida, ginger, cayenne, and garam masala. Meanwhile, toast cumin and fennel in a small skillet until they're fragrant and slightly smoky. Transfer to a small bowl to cool, then grind the seeds in a mortar and pestle until they're coarse and sandy. Add to water-and-spice mixture, followed by the sugar, and stir to combine. Add tamarind and continue cooking for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. After 20 minutes, check chutney for consistency-it should look like a chocolate sauce. Remove from heat to cool. Meanwhile, line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer. Bake 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer wings to a large bowl. Toss with the chutney, then replace wings on the rack and bake again, 5-10 minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove chicken wings and serve.

CHICKEN WITH APRICOT, TAMARIND AND CHIPOTLE SAUCE
This Passover dish from Patricia Jinich came to The Times in 2009. For Ms. Jinich, who grew up in Mexico, one of 40,000 to 50,000 Jews, European and Mexican influences ran through Passover and holiday cooking: chicken soups with matzo might feature jalapeños, while meat stews were paired with salsa. Ms. Jinich learned this recipe from Flora Cohen, a woman of Syrian background who taught her and other Jewish brides in Mexico City how to cook. Here, a combination of dried apricots and apricot preserves give this chicken a savory sweetness, while chipotles in adobo add a little heat.

PEANUT-TAMARIND SAUCE
This is a perfect sauce to pour over fish, chicken, rice and noodle dishes. One of my friends even likes to pour it over waffles, but I don't recommend that, she's a little nutty. It makes a good dip for chicken fingers, shrimp rolls (what can't it do?) I make extra large batches and give some away bottled.

Tips:
- To make the most of the tamarind flavor, use a good quality tamarind paste. Look for a paste that is dark brown in color and has a slightly sweet and sour taste.
- If you don't have tamarind paste, you can use tamarind concentrate or tamarind powder. Just follow the directions on the package to reconstitute the tamarind.
- Be careful not to cook the chicken over high heat, as this will make it tough. Cook it over medium heat until it is cooked through but still tender.
- Serve the chicken with steamed rice or quinoa. You can also serve it with a side of vegetables, such as roasted broccoli or grilled asparagus.

This chicken with tamarind-pomegranate sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner.
