📝 Preparation Steps
1
All-Day Seasoning Blend
2
In a mortar and pestle, spice grinder, or blender, combine the 1 Tbsp. dried parsley, 1 Tbsp. dried oregano, 1 Tbsp. kosher salt, 2 tsp. dried thyme, 2 tsp. dried rosemary, 2 tsp. whole black peppercorns, 1 tsp. cumin seeds, and ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper. Grind or blend the spices until the mixture has the same consistency as granulated garlic. Transfer to a small bowl and whisk in ¼ cup sweet paprika, 3 Tbsp. granulated garlic, 2 Tbsp. granulated onion, and 2 tsp. Worcestershire powder (if using). The seasoning will keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for 1 month (makes a scant ¾ cup).

Chicken Wings
4

When ready to cook, preheat oven to 450°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Remove wings from refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature. Line a plate with paper towels.
6
In a small bowl, stir together 1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. All-Day Seasoning Blend, 1 Tbsp. kosher salt, 2 tsp. ground coriander, and 2 tsp. baking powder. Sprinkle mixture over wings and toss well to coat. Arrange wings, fatty-side down, on prepared baking sheet. Bake ⏱️ 30 minutes, then turn wings over and bake until golden brown and crispy, 15–⏱️ 20 minutes more. Remove baking sheet from oven. Drain wings on the paper towels and allow to cool ⏱️ 5 minutes.

Fried Garlic
8
Smash 15 garlic cloves, then peel and mince. Line a plate with paper towels and put a fine-mesh sieve over a small heatproof bowl.
9
In a small skillet, combine 2 Tbsp. neutral oil and garlic. Turn heat to medium and cook until garlic is lightly golden, 5–⏱️ 7 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and continue to cook until garlic is completely golden, 1 more minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic; it will turn bitter if you do. Strain through sieve; transfer garlic to the paper towels to cool. (Reserve garlic oil for another use.)
