As a not so spicy compliment to my Asian Inspired wings, I offer up my wife’s lemon garlic chicken wings. We came up with this recipe in the hopes that it would pick up on some of the flavors of Greek chicken, or at least Mediterranean cuisine, and I don’t think we were too far off. (There should have been honey in here somewhere, but it was close)

To carry the Mediterranean feel a bit further, we paired it with some leftover tzatziki we had in the fridge from a few days earlier. The result? I can only call these wonderful and suggest you give them a try. Really, I wish I had more to say on the subject, but honestly, I’m just wishing we had a few wings left right about now…

Yeah. They’re freaking amazing.

More great wings — I’m saving all of these recipes for next weekend, when everyone here in Rhode Island will be cheering on our local football team in the Super Bowl!
