Greek Wings With Lemon and Feta

In her new cookbook co-authored by her friend and business partner John O. Morisano, Black, White, and The Grey, Mashama Bailey explores the joy and pain of opening a restaurant and delivers this irresistible recipe for lemony, crispy wings. These wings, inspired by the Greek wings at Bailey’s local bar, Crystal Beer Parlor, require at least two hours to marinate, so make sure you plan accordingly.
