The uncomplicated chimichurri, a classic Argentinian uncooked sauce, consists of a few spices, fresh parsley and plenty of garlic and acts both as a marinade and sauce. You can make the sauce in a food processor, but hand-chopping everything makes it look more rustic and especially fragrant. It is delicious drizzled over literally anything, from meat, cheese, to tofu and vegetables and fabulous with bread too. To make your chimichurri chicken particularly flavourful, I would recommend that you let the chicken marinate overnight in the fridge. However, if you are short on time or impatient, 30 minutes is minimum.

- Prepare the sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a bowl. Stir together, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
- Place the chicken thighs in a large tray or bowl with half the sauce and 1/2 tsp salt. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the fridge.
- Preheat a heavy skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of chicken schmaltz or olive oil. Add chicken skin-side down and cook 5-7 minutes per side or until cooked through.
- Arrange the chicken on a platter and serve with remaining chimichurri spooned over top.

...wonderful, chicken is what's for dinner here!
Sounds like a delicious recipe, thanks for sharing.
Take care, have a great week ahead.
I love Chimichurri sauce. Goes with so many things.
Angie, I tell you that the recipe for chimichurri was invented in the mid-nineteenth century by an English merchant named Jimmy Curry. The sauce takes the name of the man, but pronounced in the Argentine style... hehehehe!: Chimi Churri. If it is true? We don't know and shouldn't care, but it's very tasty, ideal for seasoning grilled meat.
I will make this soon. It sounds so perfect for an autumn evening.
complimenti buonissimo!
Looks delicious!
Sounds delicious and easy too!

Suelo preparar esta salsa cuando hago barbacoas, va muy bien para la carne y es de las pocas veces que no se quejan por las especias.
I think Chimichurri sauce is great and can't wait to try your version...I usually add some cilantro when I make it. Karen (Back Road Journal)
That looks so good and it's gotta taste delicious!
Will definitely try this ... if only because you used schmaltz! 🙂
Happy Sunday!

Looks very nice, Angie.
Even your chickens look like cookies. :)
I think I could have chimichurri with rice pudding and enjoy it! But no cilantro? We add it always.
Awesome looking dinner! I would definitely say YES to this! Thanks so much!
Such a beautiful dish. I can only imagine how spicy it might be! YUM!
I haven't had chimichurri chicken in a very very very long time. Your recipe sounds good and I wish I had some chicken in the house to try it. I will have to get some. Happy new week Angie.
I've never had it but it looks good.
This sounds so good. Bookmarking!
Love the fresh vibrancy of herbs in this freshly made chimichurri
Hi Angie, Great looking chicken! I do like chimichurri sauce on steak but I've never tried it on chicken, why I don't know. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
Isn’t chimichurri the best condiment? We love both the green and red. David (C&L)
