Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Hot sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 Cucumber, sliced
• 4 Carrot sticks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.

Step 3

Arrange the seasoned wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they are not touching each other for even cooking.

Step 4

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, hot sauce, lemon juice, and dried oregano in a small bowl.

Step 6

Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the sauce over them. Toss the wings gently until they are well coated in the sauce.

Step 7

Place the sauced wings on a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 8

Serve the Mediterranean Buffalo chicken wings with sliced cucumbers and carrot sticks on the side for a refreshing accompaniment.
