Chicken wings can be a great, if often overlooked option for a weeknight dinner. These baked wings are tossed with lemon, garlic and oregano and baked until golden brown. Cauliflower rice isn’t just a rice replacement. Here we mix it with crunchy raw vegetables as a refreshing side for the wings, served with a dollop of cool Greek yogurt.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place a rimmed baking sheet on the middle oven rack; preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss the wings in a bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons oregano, the lemon zest, chopped garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread on the hot baking sheet; cook, flipping halfway through, until browned and crisp, 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons lemon juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a large bowl; whisk to combine. Dice half of the cucumber and add to the dressing along with the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion and cauliflower rice; toss.
  3. Make the tzatziki: Grate the other cucumber half on a box grater. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel and wring out the excess liquid. Transfer the cucumber to a bowl and add 2 teaspoons water, the yogurt, grated garlic, remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice and salt to taste.
  4. Divide the wings and cauliflower salad among plates. Serve with the tzatziki.
