Greek Style Chicken Wings

 


 

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..........
