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 & 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 & then place them in an even layer on the baking sheets. Bake at 400 for 25 minutes. Flip the wings & 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.
