Directions

  1. 1

    Using sharp kitchen shears, cut each wing at the joint to separate them into two pieces.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, mix the minced garlic, lemon zest and juice, cumin seeds, and olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Pour the marinade over the chicken wings in a dish and toss well to coat all pieces. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight if possible.

  4. 4

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (350°F for convection) or prepare a grill. Place the wings on a baking sheet and bake for 45 to 50 minutes until golden brown, or grill for 20 minutes, drizzling with honey during the last 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve the wings hot on a platter lined with paper towels. Accompany with olives, pistachios or almonds, dates, pickled peppers, and flatbread.

💡 Chef's Tip

Prepare the marinade the day before for the best flavor. If using a grill, maintain moderate heat to prevent the honey from burning.
