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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are covered with white ash.
Step 4
Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Place the wings on the grill grates in a single layer.
Step 5
Grill the wings for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
Transfer the grilled chicken wings to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
Step 7
Serve immediately while hot with your favorite Mediterranean-inspired sides.
