Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

2 pounds chicken wings (about 10)
2/3 cup buttermilk
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Preparation

  1. Cut off the wing tips, reserving them for another use such as stock if desired, and halve the wings at the joint. In a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag mix together the buttermilk, the garlic, 3 tablespoons of the cumin, and the salt. Add the wings, tossing them to coat them well, and let them marinate, chilled, for at least 6 hours or overnight. Drain the wings and bake them, skin side up, on the oiled rack of a broiler pan in a preheated 475°F. oven for 15 minutes. In a small bowl stir together the remaining 1 tablespoon cumin, the lemon juice, and salt to taste and brush the wings with the mixture. Bake the wings for 10 minutes more, or until they are golden.
