Ingredients

  • Smoked Paprika Chimichurri (ingredients below)
  • Marinated Chicken Wings (ingredients below)

Instructions

  1. Set the EGG for direct cooking (no convEGGtor) at 400°F/204°C.
  2. Place marinated wings (instructions below) on a flat tray and season to taste with sea salt.
  3. Place the wings on the EGG in a single layer to begin cooking. 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.
  4. Also 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.
  5. 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.
  6. The entire process may take anywhere from 20 – 25 minutes.
  7. 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.
  8. Allow to rest for 3 – 5 minutes, then serve.
