Marinated Chicken Wings Ingredients

  • 2 ½ pounds Chicken Wings

  • ¼ cup White Wine Vinegar
  • ¾ cup Smoked Paprika Chimichurri
  • To taste Fine Sea Salt

Instructions

EGG SET-UP: 

Direct 400°F/204°C  with the Stainless Steel Grid

 

TOOLS & ACCESSORIES:

Stainless Steel Grid, Tongs, Instant Read Thermometer 

 

  1. Place marinated wings (instructions below) on a flat tray and season to taste with sea salt. Tip: Save extra for dipping!
  2. Place the wings directly on the EGG in a single layer to begin cooking
  3. Allow the skin to begin crisping on one side, then flip and close the lid of the Big Green Egg to allow the wings to slowly bake as the skin renders crispy. Closing the lid of the Big Green Egg will allow the wings to develop that signature smoky flavor that is produced during the cooking process.
  4. Maintain a temperature of around 350°F/177°C and check and rotate the wings every 5 minutes to get an even golden brown and crispy skin.
  5. Allow to cook for 20 – 25 minutes.
  6. Remove the wings from the heat and place on a wire rack once all the fat is rendered and the skin is evenly crispy and golden brown.
  7. Allow to rest for 3 – 5 minutes, then serve.

Enjoy!

  1. I made the chimichurri marinade but it is very thin and runny. I thought chimichurri was a thick creamy sauce. Is it because this recipe makes a marinade and it’s not intended as a sauce?

  2. Question,
    Do you leave the wings on the flat tray and put the tray and wings on the grill together or take them off of the flat tray and put them directly on to the grate?
