A mixture of vegetable oil, chicken wings, ground cumin, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so delicious. To use up the ground cumin you could follow this main course with the Moroccan Chocolate Mousse as a dessert. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes approximately 55 minutes.
Instructions
Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly oil.
Mix the chile powder, cumin, coriander, cloves, 2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl.
Add the wings and toss to coat.
Spread the wings, spaced apart, on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake, turning once, until browned and crisp, about 40 minutes.
Ancho chile powder gives these a slightly smoky kick; serious wing lovers will want to step up the heat.
Put 2 jalapenos, 1/2 cup cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, the juice of 1 lime and 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a food processor and finely chop. Toss with the wings; marinate 2 hours.
Brush off the marinade and rub and bake as directed, omitting the black pepper.
Marinate the wings in the jalapeno mixture (see above), then rub and bake as directed. About 5 minutes before they're finished baking, brush with a mixture of 3 tablespoons each honey and Sriracha sauce (hot Asian chili sauce).

Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Sparkling Rose, Sparkling Wine
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Chicken Wings. White meat is typically paired with white wine as to not overpower the flavor of the meat, so chardonnay and sauvignon blanc are safe choices. Chicken prepared with a tomato sauce or certainly a red wine sauce can and should be served with a red like a pinot noir. The Tyler Winery Santa Barbara County Chardonnay with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.

Tyler Winery Santa Barbara County Chardonnay
2015 brought the earliest vintage of the decade so far. After the large 2013 and 2014 vintages and the continued drought, the vines put forth a fraction of the fruit than the previous two years. They were down approximately 30% overall but the result was exceptional quality and deep, powerful wines with great acidity. Citrus, anise, saline, and energetic.
