Lemon and Oregano Chicken Wings
A lot of the chicken wing recipes on my blog have an Asian influence. So during our Greek week when I saw this recipe using simple Greek flavourings I really wanted to try it.
These were delicious, my kids who are my food judges, really liked them. What I loved was they were one, tasty and two, different from the other wings I make.
The original recipe was for 1kg of wings, but I always make 2kg, you can always add extra lemon if needed, this really is a to taste kind of a recipe.
If by chance the chicken is cooked but not browned how you would like it, just turn on the grill for 3-5 minutes and it will be perfect.
This is a simple, tasty, Greek inspired dish that I will happily make again and again.
