I made this herb dipping sauce as a sauce for rosemary chicken wings. Turns out it also makes a great salad dressing. And its great as a chimichurri-like sauce for grilled meats. It definitely packs a nice herby flavor. That was the point!
A Different Kind Of Dipping Sauce
The herb dipping sauce really complimented the herby flavor of the chicken wings. You instead of dipping the chicken into the sauce you could brush it directly onto the chicken. Split chicken breasts or quarters, grilled to perfection and brushed with the sauce is absolutely divine (and different)!
I could not find fresh oregano so I used dried. Fresh would definitely go with the ‘fresh’ theme of this sauce, so if you have it, use it. Just start with a little a taste to see if you need to add more.
