Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet with Rack
  • Foil

Ingredients
  

  • 24 chicken wing sticks, or middle wings, skin on

For the Rub

  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, or paprika
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder, ½ to 1 teaspoon if using Thai chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons za'atar

For the Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste, or 2 tablespoons of Sriracha sauce
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • white sesame seeds, optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 200° C (400° F). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a rack on the sheet. Oil the rack with some olive oil.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add all the Rub ingredients and mix together.
  • Dry the wings with paper towels, add to the mixing bowl and toss together with the rub until all the wings are evenly coated.
  • Place wings on the rack evenly so they are not touching.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes. Then place the baking sheet under your broiler (for counter top ovens, turn off the bottom coil and turn on the top coil) and broil until crispy, watch them so they do not burn. Remove from the broiler or oven.
  • Now melt the butter in a sauce pan on medium heat, when melted, add the remaining Sauce ingredients. Stir and bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and stir occasionally until slightly thickened, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Place the chicken wings in a large bowl and pour on the sauce and gently toss together until the wings are evenly coated.
  • Place wings on a serving tray, garnish with sesame seeds if desired. (This is without the sauce, which I did not make, family is not keen on sweet sauces with honey.)
  • Serve with rice or sides of your choice and enjoy.

Notes

I bought 24 wings that weighed 2 kilos (just under 4½ lbs) for 139 Baht. For 4 servings, which is very conservative, this is about $1.05 per serving.
