1 cup plain yogurt
1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Steps:

Make sauce:
Drain yogurt in a sieve lined with a double thickness of cheesecloth at room temperature 20 minutes. Stir together with garlic, mint, and salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare chops while yogurt drains:
Stir together lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and 2 tablespoons oil in a shallow baking dish. Add lamb chops, turning to coat, and marinate 20 minutes. Remove lamb from marinade, reserving marinade, and season with salt and pepper. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté chops in 2 batches, without crowding, about 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer to plates. Boil reserved marinade in skillet with water 1 minute and pour over chops.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Canola oil, for frying
1 dozen chicken wings split at the joint, wing tips removed and discarded
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
1 clove garlic, smashed and minced
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Pinch celery salt
2 to 3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons chile-infused honey, such as Mike's Hot Honey
2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves finely chopped
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Crushed red pepper

Steps:

For the wings: Heat 3 to 4 inches of oil in a large, high-sided pan until it reaches 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Add the wings in batches and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 13 to 15 minutes.
For the dipping sauce: Meanwhile, to a bowl, add the Greek yogurt, chives, garlic, lemon juice and celery salt. Stir to combine and taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
For the hot wing sauce: In a saute pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter, and then add the honey and warm through until loose and viscous.
In a large bowl, add the garlic, rosemary, lemon zest and juice and crushed red pepper flakes. Pour the honey-butter into the rosemary mixture.
As the wings come out of the fryer, toss in the honey-butter sauce. Season to taste. Serve with the Greek yogurt dipping sauce.
