Notes

  1. If your Greek yogurt is very thick, thin it slightly with a splash of milk. Natural unsweetened yogurt can also be used instead of Greek yogurt.
  2. I used fine breadcrumbs here. You can use panko breadcrumbs instead.
  3. Table salt can be used instead of celery salt.
  4. Cayenne pepper is optional. You can omit it completely or use less/more, if you like.
  5. For smaller chicken wings, you might need less time. If not sure your chicken wings are done, please use a food thermometer. The internal temperature should reach at least 165 Fahrenheit (74 Celsius).
  6. This recipe can be easily doubled, tripled…
  7. The yogurt and breadcrumb mixture should be enough for 10-12 chicken wings.
  8. More detailed tips and serving suggestions can be found in the post above this recipe card.
