Baked Greek Style Chicken Wings




3 tablespoons lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 teaspoon salt

4 pounds fresh or frozen chicken wingettes, thawed


CUCUMBER SAUCE:


1/2 cup plain yogurt

1/2 cup chopped peeled cucumber

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

2 tablespoons snipped fresh dill or 2 teaspoons dill weed

1 garlic clove, peeled

Dash salt

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the lemon juice, oil, honey, oregano, garlic and salt. Add chicken wings; seal bag and toss to coat. Refrigerate overnight.

In a blender, combine the sauce ingredients; cover and process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl; cover and refrigerate until serving.

Drain and discard marinade. Place wings on a rack in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 35-40 minutes or until juices run clear, turning once. Serve with cucumber sauce. Yield: about 3 dozen (1 cup sauce).
