Categories appetizer

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

Extra-virgin olive oil, for frying
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
12 fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon whole cumin seeds
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1/2 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Kosher salt
3 pounds chicken wings, whole or separated as you like

Steps:

Prep the rub: Pour about an inch of olive oil into a small pan over medium heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the rosemary and cook, turning the sprigs, until the leaves darken and become crispy, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the sage to the same pan and cook until the leaves darken, slightly curl and stop sizzling, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
In a dry medium pan over low heat, combine the cumin, red pepper flakes, peppercorns and garlic powder. Toast the spices, tossing constantly to avoid burning, until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
Remove the rosemary leaves from their stems, then put the herbs and spices in a spice grinder and pulse until finely chopped and combined. Remove and add 1 tablespoon salt.
Prep the wings: Massage the wings with the herb rub and place them on a wire rack set inside a baking sheet. Let the rub set at room temperature, about 30 minutes. While the wings rest, preheat the oven to 400˚.
Bake the wings: Transfer the baking sheet with the rack and wings to the oven and bake until the wings are crispy, flipping halfway through, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm.

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil and then a piece of parchment paper. Lightly oil the parchment paper.
Arrange the chicken wings on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Bake until golden brown on the underside, about 30 minutes. Flip the wings, switch the position of the baking sheets and continue to bake until crispy and golden brown all over, 15 to 20 minutes more.
