About

If you are looking for an alternative to buffalo wings that are just as tasty but a bit more unexpected and baked rather than fried, look no further. Our wings come out crunchy and tender inside because we bake them at a ferocious 500°F [260°C], which causes the fat to render and crisps the harissa-rubbed skin without overcooking the meat. With both cayenne and harissa spices in the coating, you’ll want to make sure you have plenty of the cooling feta and herb sauce on hand, as well
