Best Greek Wings

3

Make your game day Greek, with these garlicky lemony marinated wings. You have to keep them swimming in the marinade for at least 2 hours. I think I did mine for 4-5 hours. But don’t exceed the 10 hour limit because the tiny wings will be affected by the acid from the lemons.

I also adore this dressing. It really drives home the Greek tavern experience and even provides a tiny spicy kick with the cayenne pepper. Don’t skip it. The last sprinkle of feta is the cherry on the sundae. Another aspect that makes this dish superior to the rest.

Ideally you want to keep the Greek taverna theme going and serve this with a Greek Salad aka Horiatiki. Add some french fries or roasted lemon potatoes too for the ideal Greek meal. Tsatziki can also be used as a dipping sauce.

Ingredients 

US CustomaryMetric

• 3.5 lbs chicken wings

Marinade:

• 1/2 cup olive oil

• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 2 tsp salt

Instructions

• Rinse and pat dry your wings.
• In a large bowl, whisk together all of the Marinade ingredients and then toss with the wings to coat well. Cover and chill in your fridge for at least 2 hour and up to 10 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 F and set up two baking sheets, lined with aluminum foil.  If you have wire racks use them.. if not its okay. 
• Bake your wings for 35 minutes, in one oven – one on the top rack and one on the bottom.  Remove trays and flip over the wings.  Now swap the trays, top to bottom and vice verse.  Bake for an additional 25 minutes or until crispy.

Notes

Definitely serve with my Tsatziki Sauce for dipping.
