A platter of Greek Chicken Wings With Cucumber Dip.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Chicken wings aren't just for football season. These Greek chicken wings with cucumber dipping sauce are a fresh and light take on them. The juicy and tender meat just fell off the bones. Outside, though, they were nice and crisp. The flavors of oregano, garlic, and lemon permeate throughout them. So good! We enjoyed the cucumber dipping sauce. Tangy, crunchy, and slightly sweet from the dill, the sauce reinforces the Greek flavors and is similar to a Tzatziki sauce.

How To Make greek chicken wings with cucumber dipping sauce

Step 1

Combine all marinade ingredients.

Step 2

Then pour over chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Coat the chicken with the mixture. Refrigerate, turning occasionally for a minimum of 3 hours or overnight.
Step 3

Start the cucumber sauce. It needs to be combined and refrigerated for at least 2 hours, but it is best if made a day ahead. Peel, seed, and shred the cucumber.
Step 4

Add all the sauce ingredients to a small bowl.
Step 5

Mix well.
Step 6

Cover and refrigerate alongside the chicken.
Step 7

When ready to eat, heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Arrange chicken on aluminum foil-lined 15x10x1 pan.
Step 8

Bake for 45 - 50 minutes, turning once midway through baking.
