Servings: 6 people
Author: Alex Snodgrass

Ingredients

For the Wings:

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 2 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, more to tast
  • 3.5 lb. split chicken wings (also referred to as party wings)
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil

For the Feta Sauce:

  • 4 oz. feta
  • ¼ cup whole milk Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup avocado oil mayo
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, about ½ lemon
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup fresh dill
  • ¼ cup chopped chives

For Finishing:

  • 3 teaspoons lemon zest, about 1 lemon
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh dill

Instructions

Bake the Wings:

  • Preheat the oven to 400F. Line two baking sheets with foil and top each sheet with a wire baking rack. Alternatively, if you do not have wire racks, spray the foil generously with cooking spray before adding the wings.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the baking powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, rosemary, cayenne (if using), and kosher salt. Set aside.
  • Pat the chicken wings very dry using paper towels. Add to a large bowl and drizzle with avocado oil. Toss to coat. Add the spice rub mixture and toss again until each wing is evenly coated. Toss again until well combined and the wings are evenly coated.
  • Evenly distribute the wings amongst the two trays, arranging them so they are skin side up. Transfer to the oven and bake until golden and crisp, about 35-45 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through the cooking time.

Make the Feta Sauce:

  • While the wings are baking, make your sauce. In a food processor or high-speed blender, add the feta, Greek yogurt, mayo, garlic, lemon juice and zest, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, garlic powder, kosher salt, cracked black pepper, and dill. Blend on medium-low for about 30 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Transfer to a bowl. Stir in the chopped chives until well combined. Taste for seasonings and adjust as needed.

Assemble and Serve the Wings:

  • Once the wings are cooked through, remove from the oven and transfer to a large bowl. Toss with lemon zest, parsley, and dill. Taste for seasoning and add more salt as needed.
  • Transfer to a platter and serve with the Feta Sauce.
