Big Green Egg Chimichurri Chicken Wings

Kamado chimichurri chicken wings

Hello again and thanks for stopping by! Freshly back from recent travels I was looking for inspiration and found it on the Tastemade site. You know, it is that site you see posted and then re-posted on Facebook with the sped up videos enticing you to cook something that you never do. Yeah… that site! Well, when I saw their post for Grilled Chimichurri Chicken wings I knew I had to try that recipe for myself. I have cooked using Chimichurri sauce before but it was with steak not chicken. The flavors in this sauce are the perfect compliment to grilled chicken wings. Now sit back, grab an ice cold Cristal lager, and enjoy this post for Big Green Egg Chimichurri Chicken Wings.

There are so many variants on Chimichurri sauce. For this cook I stuck to the recipe featured on Tastemade. Olive oil, red wine vinegar, parsley, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, and red pepper flakes did the trick!

After you combine all the ingredients put some to the side for garnishing the wings when they are done.

For this cook I used my Big Green Egg Mini Max preheating it to 350° using a platesetter for indirect heat. The wings went on for about an hour flipping them occasionally until they measured 165° using a instant read thermometer.

After I pulled the wings from the grill I tossed them with the remaining Chimichurri sauce, fresh cilantro, and sliced jalapenos. This meal was fantastic!
