We're willing to bet you've never had chicken wings – or baklava – like this before!

2 tbs coriander seeds, toasted
1 tbs cumin seeds, toasted
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon, plus lemon wedges, to serve
6 garlic cloves, bruised
1/2 cup (175g) honey
2.5kg chicken winglets (wings with tips removed, halved at the knuckle)
2/3 cup (110g) smoked almonds
2/3 cup (110g) shelled pistachios
1/3 cup (40g) walnuts

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Grease 2 large baking trays and line with baking paper.
2.

Crush spices using a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a bowl with oil, lemon zest and juice, garlic and honey. Add chicken and toss to coat.
3.

Transfer to prepared trays and bake for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 200°C/180°C fan-forced and bake for a further 30 minutes, or until chicken is golden and sticky.
4.

Whiz nuts in a food processor until finely chopped. Scatter over chicken for the last 10 minutes of cooking or until roasted.
