Steps:
- Prep the rub: Pour about an inch of olive oil into a small pan over medium heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the rosemary and cook, turning the sprigs, until the leaves darken and become crispy, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the sage to the same pan and cook until the leaves darken, slightly curl and stop sizzling, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- In a dry medium pan over low heat, combine the cumin, red pepper flakes, peppercorns and garlic powder. Toast the spices, tossing constantly to avoid burning, until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
- Remove the rosemary leaves from their stems, then put the herbs and spices in a spice grinder and pulse until finely chopped and combined. Remove and add 1 tablespoon salt.
- Prep the wings: Massage the wings with the herb rub and place them on a wire rack set inside a baking sheet. Let the rub set at room temperature, about 30 minutes. While the wings rest, preheat the oven to 400˚.
- Bake the wings: Transfer the baking sheet with the rack and wings to the oven and bake until the wings are crispy, flipping halfway through, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepot on medium-high heat, add the mustard, beer or tea, cane syrup, hot sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, a pinch of salt and plenty of grinds of black pepper. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
- Heat a grill for indirect cooking to 375 degrees F.
- Place the wings on a wire rack, then top with a second wire rack and secure with wire on both sides. Sprinkle on both sides with salt, pepper and a dusting of paprika. Place on the grill over the indirect heat, meat-side down. Close the grill and cook for about 15 minutes. Baste with the sauce, then flip the wings and brush with more sauce. Continue to grill until the wings are golden and the sauce is set and sticky, about 15 minutes more. Serve with the bread and pickles.
Tips:
- Choose the right peanut butter. Smooth peanut butter is best for this recipe, as it will create a smooth and creamy sauce. If you use chunky peanut butter, the chunks may not dissolve completely and the sauce may be gritty.
- Use fresh jelly. Old jelly may have lost its flavor or may have become crystallized. Fresh jelly will give your wings a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
- Don't overcook the wings. Overcooked wings will be tough and dry. Cook them until they are just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
- Serve the wings with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard.
