Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat dry 2 lb chicken wings with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, toss wings with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp berbere spice, and 1 tsp salt until evenly coated.

  3. Step 3

    Arrange wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway, until skin is crispy and internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  4. Step 4

    While wings bake, chop 1 tomato, 1 cucumber, and 1 small red chili pepper into small pieces. Mix in a bowl with a pinch of salt.

  5. Step 5

    In a small bowl, stir 1 cup plain yogurt with a pinch of salt to make the dipping sauce.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot wings with the fresh salad and yogurt sauce on the side.

  7. Step 7

    Optional: add a squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of fresh herbs to the salad if you have them.
