Narrative:
On departure from runway 22L on the midway 7 departure we were assigned a right turn to a heading of 110 degrees. On climbout we entered the wake of the airliner that had taken off before us. During the recovery we ended up making a slight left turn which we corrected at about the same time the tower reminded us that we should be turning right. We tightened up our turn to the right to comply with the departure procedure and there were no further problems.
