Ingredients
- For The Honey Butter Wing Sauce
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 2 cloves small garlic finely chopped or grated
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 ½ Tablespoons honey
- 1 Tablespoon prepared horseradish
- For The Parsley Sauce
- 2 Tablespoon finely chopped parsley plus 1 cup packed parsley leaves
- salt and pepper to taste
- ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil plus more for brushing
- 3 pounds chicken wing pieces A mix of wings and drumettes, about 25 pieces
Instructions
- In a microwave safe bowl, gently melt the butter. I like to start using 50% power for one minute. Then add 10 seconds increments at full power until melted.
- Add half of the garlic, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, the honey, horseradish and chopped parsley. Season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan of salted boiling water, blanch the parsley leaves until bright green, about 1 minute. Drain and cool under running water. In a blender, puree the parsley with 2 tablespoons of water and the remaining garlic and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice until nearly smooth. With the machine on, gradually add the ⅓ cup of oil until incorporated. Season the parsley sauce with salt and pepper.
- Light a grill. Coat the chicken wing pieces with oil and grill over 400 degree heat. After 5 minutes, turn and grill for 5 more minutes. Move the wings around to account for hot/cold spots so all wings cook evenly. Keeping the grill at 350 - 400 degrees.
- Turn the wings and baste them with half of the honey butter sauce. Be careful because the butter will cause the flames to rise. Cook for 5 minutes and then turn and baste with the remaining butter sauce.
- Plate the chicken wings and serve with the parsley sauce.
