Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 Lemon wedges
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, thyme, rosemary, ground black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes to make the marinade.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Add them to the mixing bowl with the marinade, ensuring all wings are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for better flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are covered with white ash.
Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Place the wings on the grill grates in a single layer.
Grill the wings for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the grilled chicken wings to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
Serve immediately while hot with your favorite Mediterranean-inspired sides.
