Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking (or 2 baking sheets) with parchment paper and place a wire cooling rack on top. Spray the rack with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, Kabul Piquant spice blend, and salt.
Add the wings to a large mixing bowl and pat dry with paper towels. Working a few pieces at a time, dip each wing into the dry rub mixture until well coated on both sides. Transfer to the wire rack and repeat with the remaining wings.
Working a few pieces at a time, dip each wing into the dry rub mixture until well coated on both sides. Transfer to the wire rack and repeat with the remaining wings.
Roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Meanwhile, make your herbed yogurt sauce by adding all the ingredients to a food processor.
Blend on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until smooth. Season to taste with salt and chill until ready to serve.
Remove wings from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Top with more fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve warm, alongside herbed yogurt sauce for dipping.
