Steps:

• For the marinade, toast cinnamon, pepper, coriander, cumin, cloves and cardamom in skillet over medium-high heat until very fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes; cool.
• Transfer to small bowl. Stir in paprika, garlic, sugar, salt, pepper flakes, oil, juice.
• Cut wing tips off chicken; halve wings at joint. Combine wings with marinade in plastic bag. Chill in refrigerator 45 minutes.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Spread wings in large rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake in oven 25 minutes, turning occasionally. Increase heat to broil. Cook wings under broiler 10 minutes or until skin is crisp. Enjoy!
• Note: If you have mortar and pestle, substitute seeds for ground, and grind together. Use 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1/4 teaspoon cardamom seeds.
• Makes 8 servings.

Steps:

• Put one-third of the wings in a large bowl, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon baking powder and toss until evenly coated. Use tongs to spread the wings on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken wings and baking powder in two batches. Liberally sprinkle both sides of the wings with salt and pepper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Meanwhile, make the harissa: Tear open the chiles and discard the seeds. (You may leave the seeds in if you prefer a spicy harissa.) Tear the chiles into large pieces and place them in a medium bowl. Pour 4 cups boiling water over the chiles and let stand until softened, about 20 minutes.
• Put the coriander and cumin seeds in a small skillet and cook, swirling often, over medium heat, until the seeds are fragrant and lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the spices to a blender, add the oil, garlic, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon kosher salt, then puree until smooth. Using tongs, add the chiles to the blender along with 1 cup of their soaking liquid (discard the rest) and puree until very smooth, about 2 minutes on high. Season the harissa with pepper and set aside while you finish the wings.
• Bake the wings, turning once halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes.
• For the salad: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest from 1 orange, avoiding the white pith, and cut it into very thin strips; transfer to a medium bowl. Using a knife, remove the white pith from both oranges, then cut the fruit crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Add the orange rounds to the bowl along with the olives, mint and oil and toss to combine. Slice the radishes into thin wedges and toss with the orange mixture; let stand for 15 minutes.
• Transfer the hot wings to a large bowl and pour 1 1/2 cups of the harissa over, tossing to coat evenly. Transfer the wings to a platter and serve with the orange, olive and radish salad on the side. Serve the remaining harissa on the side for dipping or reserve for another use.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl combine coriander, garlic, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt and pepper to taste. Add olive oil, lemon and honey. Make a paste, rub onto wings and marinade overnight. Place in pan and bake for 20 minutes. Cover chili peppers with hot water and let soak 1 hour. Drain peppers and cut into small pieces. Mash or grind to puree with garlic, lemon, vinegar and salt to taste. In a saucepan melt butter and add chili puree, combine well. Brush wings with mixture and bake an additional 10 minutes. Crisp under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. In a saucepan combine tomatoes, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt and cayenne to taste. Simmer for 20 minutes over low heat. Stir in yogurt and lemon juice to taste. Transfer to serving bowl. Arrange wings on serving platter. Garnish with flat leaf parsley. Serve with sauce.;

Steps:

• Cut off and discard chicken wing tips; cut wings in half at joint.
• Combine chicken, lemon juice, and garlic, tossing gently. Let chicken marinate 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to re-coat.
• Meanwhile, line a 15 x 10-inch jellyroll pan with aluminum foil; lightly grease aluminum foil and set pan aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine flour and next 7 ingredients in a large heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; seal bag, and shake to mix ingredients.
• Remove chicken from lemon juice mixture, discarding lemon juice mixture.
• Place chicken, a few pieces at a time, in bag with flour mixture; seal bag, and shake to coat chicken.
• Place chicken on prepared pan, brush with oil. Bake at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes or until done.

Steps:

• Place a large frying pan over medium heat with 1 tbsp of oil. Lightly season the chicken and cook, skin side down, for about 5 mins on one side, until golden. Turn over, then tip the onion into the pan. Cook for another 5 mins until the onion is soft and chicken golden all over.
• Meanwhile, halve the lemon, then cut 1 half into quarters. Finely chop 1 quarter (leaving the skin on) and tip into a pestle and mortar or small blender. Pound together with remaining oil, garlic, ginger and chermoula to make a paste. Dollop into the frying pan and cook 1 min more until you can smell the spices. Pour over the chicken or vegetable stock and honey, then bring to the boil.
• Turn down the heat, cover and leave to cook 20-30 mins until chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened and become glossy (you may need to uncover the pan for the fi nal 5 mins of cooking). Stir through the olives and squeeze over the juice of half the lemon. Sprinkle with coriander and serve with couscous or bread.
