Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 Cucumber, sliced
- 4 Carrot sticks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they are not touching each other for even cooking.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, hot sauce, lemon juice, and dried oregano in a small bowl.
Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the sauce over them. Toss the wings gently until they are well coated in the sauce.
Place the sauced wings on a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve the Mediterranean Buffalo chicken wings with sliced cucumbers and carrot sticks on the side for a refreshing accompaniment.
