Prepare chimichurri sauce by combining 1 cup chopped flat leaf parsley, 1 cup chopped cilantro, 4 chopped garlic cloves, 1 large finely chopped shallot, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a big pinch of black pepper and kosher salt in a mixing bowl.

Add 1/3 cup olive oil and mix well, then add another 1/2 cup olive oil to achieve desired consistency.

Refrigerate the chimichurri sauce to let flavors meld.

Season chicken wings with Tailgaters Barbecue Party rub and honey Chipotle barbecue rub, ensuring even coverage.

Preheat the pellet grill to 325°F (163°C).

Place the seasoned wings on the grill with the thicker skin side down.

Cook the wings for 15 minutes, then flip them over to the other side.

After another 15 minutes, flip them one more time to ensure even cooking.

Cook until wings reach an internal temperature of 185°F to 200°F (85°C to 93°C).
