Greek Wings with Lemon and Feta

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

The inspiration for this greek wings with lemon and feta recipe came from the bon appétit website.   I love the greek flavours of oregano and feta so this was a must try recipe.

I wasn't disappointed!!   

The end result is full of flavour crispy oven baked chicken wings that are topped off with a zingy dressing, crumbled feta cheese and extra fresh chopped parsley.   I could have eaten them all myself!!

Tips

• Make ahead – the chicken wings can be marinaded up to 12 hours in advance.
• This greek wings with lemon and feta recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people (the photos are half the recipe).

1. Whisk the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Put the chicken wings into a large plastic bowl or sandwich bag and add the marinade. Mix well, ensuring each wing is well coated. Cover the bowl or seal the bag and chill for at least 2 hours, and up to 12 hours.
2. Preheat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and place wire racks (if you have them) in the upper and lower thirds of oven. Line 1 or 2 (depending on size) large baking trays with kitchen foil; set a wire rack in each one (if you have them). Remove the wings from the marinade and arrange them in single layers the racks on top of the baking trays. Bake the wings for an hour, rotating the baking trays front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until deeply browned and crisp.
