Ingredients

  • 2 lb Chicken Wings thawed
  • 1 bunch Cilantro
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 whole lemon juice, squeezed
  • 1 tsp salt Himalayan, Pink
  • 1 tsp pepper light virgin
  • 1 cup olive oil light

Instructions

Cilantro Marinade

  • Place the garlic, cilantro (washed and dryed), juice from lemons, blend together in a food processor.
  • Add the light olive oil slowly until all ingredients are completely combined. Make sure this is more like a sauce and not a paste. You may need to add in more juice from a lemon to get the consistency a little runny.
  • Add in salt and pepper to taste and blend once more. Marinade your wings for 6-7 hours. I usually keep a little extra marinade to drizzle over the wings once they are cooked.

Chicken Wings

  • Heat a non-stick skillet with olive oil. While your pan is heating, prep your wings making sure there is plenty of marinade on each wing.
  • Slowly add in the wings to the pan and cook 5 minutes on each side or until brown. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
  • While the wings are browning, line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Once wings are browned, add them all onto the parchment paper.
  • Cook the wings in the oven for 15 minutes or until crispy.
  • Finally, remove from oven and drizzle with the leftover marinade. Also, top with fresh lemon juice and fresh cilantro. Serve and enjoy!
