For the marinated chicken wings

12 pieces chicken wings Look for fresh, plump chicken with minimal bruising. Organic or free-range options recommended.
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp chili powder Add more for a spicier flavor.
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp lemon juice

For the potato fries and salad

4 large potatoes, cut into thick fries Substitute with sweet potatoes for a healthier option.
Salt to taste
Lettuce chopped
1 cucumber sliced
2 tomatoes chopped
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled Replace with dairy-free cheese for a vegan option.
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
Pinch salt

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
Add chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).
Fry or bake the potato fries until golden and crispy, making sure not to overcrowd the baking tray.

Cooking

Place marinated wings on the grill or baking tray. Cook for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through until charred and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
In a mixing bowl, toss together chopped lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and crumbled feta. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.

Serving

Serve grilled wings alongside crispy fries and fresh salad. Garnish with chopped herbs if desired.

For best results, marinate overnight; for vegetarian or vegan options, substitute wings with cauliflower.
