Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 10 to 12 chicken wings (drumettes and flats)
- 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt
- Black pepper
Dipping Sauce Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove (minced)
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 400F (200C). Using paper towels, thoroughly dry chicken wings to ensure maximum crispiness. Combine wings with olive oil and seasonings in a large mixing bowl, ensuring each wing is evenly and thoroughly coated.
- Spread wings in a single layer across a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning midway through cooking process to achieve uniform golden-brown exterior and fully cooked interior.
- Prepare feta sauce during wing cooking time. Blend crumbled feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a compact bowl. Whisk until mixture becomes smooth and uniform. Adjust consistency with water or additional olive oil if needed. Season with salt and pepper according to preference.
- Extract wings from oven once they reach crispy, golden perfection. Allow brief resting period to stabilize temperature and maintain crunchiness. Present wings alongside creamy feta sauce, optionally garnishing with fresh herb sprinkle or zesty lemon squeeze for enhanced flavor profile.
Notes
- Ensure chicken wings are patted completely dry to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent soggy texture during baking.
- Customize spice blend by adjusting quantities or adding extra herbs like dried thyme or rosemary for deeper Mediterranean flavor profile.
- Transform recipe into gluten-free option by verifying all spice powders are certified gluten-free and using alternative baking surface if needed.
- Create lighter version by using low-fat Greek yogurt and reducing olive oil quantity while maintaining delicious authentic taste.
