Instructions

Prepare the marinade

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix well.

Pro tip: For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Marinate the wings

Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Pro tip: Marinating overnight enhances the flavour.

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Bake the wings

Arrange the marinated wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes, then turn and bake for another 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Prepare the sauce

While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and salt until smooth.

Pro tip: Adjust honey and mustard to taste for desired sweetness and tang.

Serve

Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with the honey mustard yogurt sauce on the side.

Pro tip: Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
