Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Chicken wings
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken wings to the marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and let the wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably longer for maximum flavor infusion.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, flipping them halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before transferring them to a serving platter.
Garnish the cooked Alitas de Pollo with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Enjoy your high protein Alitas de Pollo as a delicious and nutritious meal!
