Middle Eastern Za’atar-Spiced Chicken Wings

1. 1

   For za'atar, grind the thyme with a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. Add the marjoram and grind it finely; transfer the thyme and marjoram to a small bowl.

2. 2

   Add the sumac, sesame seeds, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne, and stir well. Store in an airtight container until needed.

3. 3

   For wings, cut whole wings into flat and drum pieces, and place them in a bowl. Add salt and garlic powder, and mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 or up to 24 hours.

4. 4

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment.

5. 5

   Whisk the egg white, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl until foamy. Pour over the wings and stir thoroughly. Add the za’atar, and toss until evenly coated. Arrange the wings, evenly spaced, on the prepared pan.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms of the wings begin to brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the wings over.

7. 7

   Continue baking until the wings are well browned and the meat pulls easily from the bone, 20 to 30 minutes more.

8. 8

   Let the wings rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Place them on a serving tray, drizzle with olive oil, and top with parsley. Sprinkle with additional sumac or za’atar if desired. For a sweeter, stickier version, drizzle with a little more honey.
