INGREDIENTS

  • Za'atar Spice Mix

    • 2 tablespoons dried thyme
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons marjoram
    • 1 tablespoon sumac
    • ⚪ 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
    • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
    • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • Chicken Wings

    • 🐓 3 1/2 pounds whole chicken wings
    • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 🥚 1 large egg white
    • 🍯 2 tablespoons honey
    • 🍋 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)
    • 2 teaspoons sumac (optional)

STEPS

1

Grind dried thyme and marjoram using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder. Place in a small bowl.

2

Add sumac, sesame seeds, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to the bowl. Stir thoroughly and store in an airtight container if not using immediately.

3

Cut whole chicken wings into flat and drum sections. Add them to a bowl with kosher salt and garlic powder, and mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (up to 24 hours for more flavor).

4

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

5

Whisk egg white, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl until foamy. Pour over the chicken wings and stir to coat.

6

Sprinkle prepared za’atar spice mix over wings and toss until evenly coated. Arrange the wings on the prepared baking sheet.

7

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, then flip the wings.

8

Continue baking for another 20-30 minutes until the wings are browned and meat easily pulls off the bone.

9

Rest the wings for 5–10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with parsley and additional sumac or za'atar, if desired.
