Ingredients

Wing Ingredients

2 lbs Detached chicken wings
3 tbsp Dad's all purpose rub
2 tsp Olive oil

Red Chimichurri Ingredients

1 Batch of parsley
1 Batch of cilantro
1/2 cup Olive oil
1/4 cup Roasted red bell peppers
2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
1 tbsp Minced garlic
1 tbsp Crushed red pepper flakes
1 tbsp Paprika
1 tbsp Salt

Instructions

Coat the raw chicken wing pieces in olive oil and season them with Dad's All Purpose rub.
Heat up the grill to 375 degrees and set it for indirect heat.
Place the seasoned wings directly on the grates and let them cook for 45-60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches180 degrees. Flip the wings half way through to ensure an even cook throughout.
Remove off the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Finely chopping an entire batch of parsley, cilantro and roasted red peppers. Add minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, paprika, salt, red wine vinegar and olive oil. Mix these ingredients together with a spoon, not food processor.
Toss the wings in the sauce and service.

Notes

DO NOT wash the chicken after it’s been removed from the packing. This will only add moisture. The cooking process will kill off any bacteria on the meat.

DO NOT drench the chicken wings in oil. Light drizzle is enough.

DON’T BE SHY on the seasoning. Some of the seasoning will either burn off during the grilling process or fall off.

Grill time will depend on the outside temperature. Grilling in freezing cold weather will impact and slow down the cook time and heat levels. Be sure to keep an eye on those wings and temps.

Grilling wings to a 175-185 degrees internally on high heat will not dry them out. Meat around the bone needs more time to cook for the fat to break down and tenderize the meat.
