These chicken wings are bursting with flavor and the aroma is reminiscent of Mediterranean coastal towns. The subtly spiced dish is enhanced with Liokareas cold fused oregano olive oil, and a dry meat rub, also a Liokareas gourmet product, that includes paprika, thyme, basil and chili flakes. The wings were smoked, low and slow, on the next generation Coyote Outdoor Living Pellet Grill with hickory flavored wood pellets. During a summer of 'staycations', these Mediterranean-style chicken wings will take you on a journey to Greece in your own backyard.
