“I've taken a spice rub traditionally used on a beef brisket to make pastrami, and applied it to America's favorite appetizer, chicken wings. This resulted in a pretty nice chicken wing recipe, which tasted nothing like pastrami.” - by Chef John

Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds chicken wings, separated at joints, tips discarded
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour

Original recipe yields 2 1/2 pounds chicken wings

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
Combine the chicken wings, vegetable oil, white pepper, black pepper, coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt in a large mixing bowl; toss with a spatula to coat evenly. Sprinkle with flour; toss again to coat evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven until browned on top, about 25 minutes. Turn the wings and return to oven to bake until crisp, no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes more. Remove immediately to a serving dish.

"Great taste. We loved them. Next time I think I'll mix the dry ingredients first for better distribution of the black pepper. A couple of the wings were a little on the peppery side...." See more"

"We really like the crust on those wings. My husband said that those are the best wings I've ever made. I served them with Ranch dressing. 6/17/2012, made it again. The whole family still liked it...." See more My children asked for the second serving and my husband again said that those are the best wings ever! We skipped the ranch this time, no need."
