Argentine chicken wings with chimichurri sauce topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 2 kg chicken wings, cut at the joints, discard the tips
- 0.5 cup + 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp. sweet paprika
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 0.5 cups tightly packed fresh parsley leaves
- 0.5 cups tightly packed fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons tightly packed fresh oregano leaves
- 1/4 cup ice cubes
- 1 jalapeño, seeded, stemmed and coarsely chopped
- Vegetable oil to grease the grill grate
Preparation:
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, 1/4 cup olive oil, and paprika. Season generously with salt and pepper, then toss to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Meanwhile, prepare the chimichurri.:
Combine the vinegar, garlic, and a generous pinch of salt in a blender and blend. Add the parsley, cilantro, oregano, ice, and jalapeño and blend on medium speed. With the blender running, slowly pour in the remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil and blend until smooth, about 1 minute, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Season the chimichurri with salt and pepper to taste, transfer to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat the grill to medium heat. Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the chicken wings, turning every 6 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through, about 25 minutes.
- Transfer the wings to a serving platter and season with salt to taste. Drizzle with chimichurri sauce and serve with the remaining dipping sauce.
