1. Season the wings: Pat the chicken wings dry, then toss with olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and hot sauce if using.
2. Grill or bake: Grill over medium heat for 20–25 minutes, turning often, until cooked through and charred in spots. Or bake at 425°F / 220°C for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway.
3. Crisp the fries: Toss potato fries with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bake at 425°F / 220°C for 30–35 minutes, flipping once, until golden and crispy.
4. Make the salad: Toss lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and onion with olive oil, lemon juice or vinegar, salt, and pepper.
5. Add the feta: Sprinkle crumbled feta over the salad so it stays chunky and creamy, just like the photo.
6. Build the plate: Add smoky grilled wings to one side, pile crispy fries on the other, and tuck the fresh feta salad at the top. Big flavor, crispy edges, fresh crunch — this plate is a whole vibe.
