BBQ Chicken Wings Plate

Instructions

Step 1: Pat your chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.

Step 2: In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3: Toss the wings with 1 tbsp olive oil and the spice mixture until evenly coated.

Step 4: Preheat your oven to 400°F and arrange the wings on a baking sheet lined with foil.

Step 5: Bake the wings for 25 minutes, then brush generously with BBQ sauce and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes until sticky and caramelized.

Step 6: While the wings bake, cut your potatoes into fries and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Step 7: Bake the fries on a separate sheet at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Step 8: Prepare the salad by combining mixed lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and crumbled feta in a large bowl.

Step 9: Whisk together 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a light dressing.

Step 10: Toss the salad with dressing just before serving and arrange everything on your plate.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover wings, fries, and salad in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This keeps each component fresh and prevents the salad from wilting.

Reheat the wings in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes to restore their crispiness, or use an air fryer for best results. The fries can be crisped up the same way.

For the salad, enjoy it fresh the next day with a bit of fresh dressing added just before eating. Skip reheating the salad altogether for optimal texture and flavor.
