For the Greek Salad

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
  3. Place the seasoned wings on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Cooking the Wings and Fries
  1. Bake the wings for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
  2. During the last 10 minutes, brush the wings with BBQ sauce.
  3. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat and fry the potato pieces until they turn golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.
Making the Greek Salad
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the romaine lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and crumbled feta.
  2. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper.
Serving
  1. Serve the crispy wings alongside the golden fries and the vibrant Greek salad on a large platter.

Notes

For extra crunch, coat wings lightly in cornstarch before baking. Use frozen, pre-cut fries for faster preparation.
