Apologies for my short absence, I have been super busy doing weddingy bits and bobs, fun fun fun....
As Alex and I were making our way home this evening, he said how much he missed KFC......obviously I do NOT advocate the deep fried, battery hen, chicken bits that KFC offers, (although I am guilty of having the odd spicy chicken wing when under the influence), so we stopped by Waitrose and bought some fresh wings.
A few weeks ago I made and posted the spicy chicken drumsticks, so today I thought I'd do something a little different.
The reason I call these Greek style is because I saw a general trend, and that is lemon, oregano, and olive oil.
Lemon is very popular with all meat; oregano is sprinkled over everything from lamb chops to fries; and of course lovingly homegrown olive oil.
This dish doesn't need many ingredients, and really takes no time at all to prepare. Once I'd put the wings in the oven, I was able to kick back with a gin'n'tonic (slimline naturally), and gossip to a few friends on the phone.

Here's what I used:
12 whole chicken wings (separated into drumettes and flats) spread over a baking tray
Pour over the juice of one large, juicy lemon
Sprinkle with a good pinch of sea salt
Sprinkle over a generous amount of dried oregano, approximately 1tbsp
Drizzle over olive oil
Mix well with your hands ensuring everything is coated with the lovely, lemony glaze.
Roast in a pre-heated oven at 200 degrees celsius for 45 minutes, turning once, so all the wings are gloriously golden. Serve with a large fresh green salad, and perhaps new potatoes....
....and of course with LOVE..........

Making this tonight but with the addition of GARLIC!!! Serving with home made potato wedges (why not go the whole way?) and a feta, red onion, tomato and olive salad! Thanks.
