Grilled Cilantro Garlic Wings with a Cucumber Jalapeño Dip

Grilled Cilantro Garlic Wings with a Cucumber Jalapeño Dip
Time: 25 minutes 

  Grilled wings are so tasty, and really easy to cook.  I love this combination of garlic with the cilantro.  The cucumber dip is made with yogurt and adds a cooling contrast with the spicy jalapeño. Serve it with a fresh summer salad of chopped garden vegetables, dressed with olive oil. These can also be baked but they definitely come out crispier on the grill. 

Tip: Make sure the chicken is cooked through on the grill by cutting a knife into one of the wings, and making sure all of the pink meat is gone.  

Healthy tip: When you grill or bake chicken there is no need to coat it in flour or fry it.  This is healthier for you, and you still get the crispy texture from the heat.

• 1 package of organic chicken wings with skin 
• 1 cup of greek yogurt
