How to make grilled chicken wings with chimichurri sauce
Put the parsley, coriander, garlic, chilies, honey and mustard in a blender and blend everything. While mixing slowly, add the oil.
Prepare your barbecue. You can choose cooking or indirect. Since I will be adding the sauce while cooking, I will use indirect heat for more delicate cooking.
When the barbecue reaches a temperature of 180 °, place the fins on the grill and cook for 15 minutes. Cover them with the chimichurri sauce in the remaining 5-10 minutes of cooking. Cook the wings for 25 minutes, turning them only once. Remember to refresh the wings with the sauce now and then.
As a side dish, you can grill a couple of peppers and season them with oil, salt, pepper and vinegar.
All here, simple, but of sure effect. Remember this recipe when you have a party on the horizon. Your guests will bow to your barbecue mastery.
