Baking Instructions
- Position the oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat the oven to 450°F/230°C.
- While the oven is preheating, season the wings with the coarse salt, black pepper and the olive oil to help them crisp up, and toss them all together in a bowl.
- Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, or parchment paper, then place a cooling rack on top. Arrange the wings on the cooling rack, leaving some space in between them so air circulates and they get crispy.
- Bake the wings for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway.
- If you don't have chimichurri sauce leftover in the fridge, make the Cilantro Chimichurri sauce while the wings bake.
- When the wings are crispy, remove them from the oven.
- Serve them with cilantro chimichurri drizzled on top, as a dipping sauce, or toss the wings directly in the chimichurri for maximum flavor.
Air Fryer Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F/200°C.
- While the air fryer is preheating, season the wings with the coarse salt, black pepper and the olive oil to help them crisp up, and toss them all together in a bowl.
- Arrange the wings on the air fryer basket, leaving some space in between them so air circulates and they get crispy. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches.
- Air fry them 15-20 minutes, giving them a shake halfway.
- If you don't have chimichurri sauce leftover in the fridge, make the Cilantro Chimichurri sauce while the wings bake.
- When the wings are crispy, remove them from the air fryer.
- Serve them with cilantro chimichurri drizzled on top, as a dipping sauce, or toss the wings directly in the chimichurri for maximum flavor.
Bom Apetite!!
