Chimichurri Chicken Wings

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings mix of drums & flats
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley minced
  • the zest from 2 limes
  • the juice from 2 limes
  • 1 heaping tablespoon honey (leave out if doing Whole30)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • a few pinches red pepper flakes optional
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450.
  • Mix together all the ingredients except for the chicken wings to make the chimichurri. Set aside about 1/3 cup of the chimichurri for later to glaze the cooked wings with.
  • Place the chicken wings in a large bowl. Pour the remaining chimichurri (not the 1/3 that you reserved!) over the chicken wings and give it a good toss to completely coat. Let sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
  • Place parchment paper over large baking sheets. Dredge the wings in the marinade again and then place them in an even layer on the baking sheets. Bake at 400 for 25 minutes. Flip the wings and cook for another 20-25 minutes - until they have reached the doneness that you desire. Brush generously with the remaining sauce.
  • Alternatively; cook the wings in the air fryer at 380 for about 25-30 minutes.
