In her new cookbook co-authored by her friend and business partner John O. Morisano, Black, White, and The Grey, Mashama Bailey explores the joy and pain of opening a restaurant and delivers this irresistible recipe for lemony, crispy wings. These wings, inspired by the Greek wings at Bailey’s local bar, Crystal Beer Parlor, require at least two hours to marinate, so make sure you plan accordingly.

Preparation
Wings
Step 1
Whisk lemon zest and juice, garlic, oil, black pepper, salt, and oregano in a large bowl to combine. Add wings and toss to coat. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
Step 2
Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 375°. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with foil; set a wire rack in each one if you have them. Remove wings from marinade; arrange on baking sheets. Bake wings, rotating baking sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until deeply browned and crisp, about 1 hour.

I love this recipe. Wings come out juicy, crispy, and full of flavor. We never have leftovers because it’s impossible for our family to not eat it all at once. My only complaint is that it takes an hour to cook, so it’s not really doable for a weeknight meal in our household. But I have made it several times and will make it many more times.

This is a staple in our recipe drawer. It's so delicious. We cut out the the oil coating last step, tbh. We felt like it didn't add enough to make the effort worth it. Don't skip the feta though. With or without the oil coating, the a bite of feta with each wing is what makes this dish stand out.

Awful, seriously? heating virgin olive oil? throw in some garlic and lemon zest and call it Greek. I'm embarrassed that I went along with cooking this as far as I did. What is the deal with Google nowadays? Very dysfunctional algorisms.

Seriously this has become my go-to marinade for chicken! That being said, I have also used it for shrimp (only marinated one (1) hour though as to not have lemon juice cook the shrimp). Grilled the shrimp - unbelievably good!

These wings were so delicious! I bought chicken drumsticks from Costco thinking I would have leftovers. but they were so good, I didn't end up having any left overs. I followed the recipe as is, but had my husband grill them instead and they were fantastic. We served them with shishito peppers and arugula salad.
