Lemon Pepper Chimichurri Wings – Cuso Cuts

Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 3 tbs lemon pepper seasoning mixed with flour
• ¼ tsp. coarse black pepper
• Peanut Oil
• Chimichurri Sauce
• Chives
• Dry your wings using a paper towel
• Toss them with lemon pepper and flour until evenly coated
• Deep fry in oil (375 degrees) for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
• Toss in Chimichurri sauce. Top with chives for presentation.
• 1 Fresno red hot pepper
• 1 Long hot pepper
• 3 cloves finely chopped garlic
• ¾ tsp. oregano
• 1 tsp. salt
• Fresh parsley and/or cilantro to taste
• 2 Tbs. red wine vinegar
• ½ cup Extra Virgin olive oil
• Lemon pepper to taste
• Barbecue rub to taste*
• If possible, I recommend preparing your Chimichurri Sauce at least one day before use. It helps marry the flavors.
• Mix all the ingredients together. It should look a bit like a salad dressing with lots of herbs. Remember, you don’t want it too wet.
• This particular sauce works great as a marinade, too.
