Prepare the Fresh Greek-Style Salad: In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, cherry tomatoes, green olives, black olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
Whisk the Salad Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Drizzle over the salad just before serving.
Make the Spicy Chickpea Mash: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, and chili powder, and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the tomato passata and the drained chickpeas. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Using a fork or a potato masher, lightly mash some of the chickpeas to create a chunky texture. Stir in the fresh cilantro.
Assemble the Platter: Arrange the finished BBQ chicken wings, crispy fries, fresh Greek-style salad, and spicy chickpea mash artistically on individual plates or a large serving platter. Serve immediately and enjoy!
💡 Chef’s Tips
For Extra Crispy Wings: For even crispier wings before glazing, toss them with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch after marinating and before baking. This helps create a wonderfully crunchy exterior.
