Baked Chicken Wings Coated in Fresh Chimichurri with a Cool Creamy Ranch Dip

These Chimichurri Wings by Chef Keysh bring big herbaceous flavor with a bold, tangy punch. The fresh parsley, garlic, olive oil, and red wine vinegar chimichurri seeps into every bite of the chicken, then it’s all balanced out with a cool ranch-style cream dip made with heavy cream, mayo, and ranch seasoning. It’s bold meets creamy, and it absolutely slaps.

Whether you’re meal-prepping, hosting a game day party, or just in the mood to throw down in the kitchen, these wings bring the perfect combo of bright, zesty, and savory.

Ingredients

For the Chimichurri:

• 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 bunch curly parsley, finely chopped
• 4–6 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Wings:

• 2–3 lbs chicken wings, flats, and drums
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Chimichurri mixture (above)

For the Ranch Dipping Sauce:

• ½ cup heavy cream
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Chimichurri

• In a bowl, combine:
  • Chopped red bell pepper
  • Finely diced curly parsley
  • Minced garlic
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Red wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
• Mix well and set aside. The longer it sits, the better the flavor.

Step 2: Season and Bake the Wings

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Pat chicken wings dry and season with salt and pepper.
• Toss wings in half of the chimichurri mixture until coated.
• Arrange on a baking rack or foil-lined sheet.
• Bake for 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway, until skin is crispy and golden.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Ranch Dip

• In a small bowl, whisk together:
  • Heavy cream
  • Mayonnaise
  • Ranch seasoning
• Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.

Step 4: Finish and Serve

• Remove wings from oven and toss or drizzle with remaining chimichurri.
• Plate with ranch dipping sauce on the side.
• Optional: Garnish with extra parsley and a sprinkle of chili flakes.

Pro Tips and Serving Suggestions

• Use a wire rack on your baking tray for crispy wings on all sides.
• Want even more flavor? Marinate the wings in chimichurri overnight before baking.
• This chimichurri is also amazing on steak, salmon, or roasted veggies—make extra!
• Add a squeeze of lime juice right before serving to brighten the dish.
• For heat, toss in a few red chili flakes or a diced serrano into your chimichurri mix.
