Grilled Chimichurri Chicken

The zesty and zingy Chimichurri Sauce is the perfect marinade for Grilled Chicken or Grilled Meat. It just brings out the flavors fo well. Generally, this is blended in the food processor however you can obviously just finely chop up everything and mix with olive oil and red wine vinegar to make Chimichurri without the food processor.

Chimichurri is a bold and spicy condiment with loads of flavors. It is generally served with Grilled Chicken or Steaks.

However, marinating the Chicken or Steaks with Chimichurri is surely not a part of Argentitnian cuisine. Its an American way to do the same and its also such a popular way today. Because its so so so good.

What does Chimichurri Sauce Taste like?

Chimichurri Sauce has a sharp, bold, and spicy taste. It's a bit tarty because of Red Wine Vinegar and Lemon Juice. Also, it's obviously spicy because of Fresno Chili and Garlic. I also like the herby taste of Chimichurri because of Oregano!!!
