  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 57 minute

Ingredients

– 2 pounds chicken wings
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 2 teaspoons brown sugar
– 2 teaspoons salt (adjust to taste)
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
– 1 teaspoon allspice
– 1 teaspoon thyme
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon onion powder
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon lime juice
– 1-2 Scotch bonnet peppers (adjust according to heat preference)
– 3 green onions, chopped
– 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped


Instructions

Creating mouth-watering Jamaican Jerk Chicken Wings can be done by following these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a blender, combine brown sugar, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, allspice, thyme, cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder, soy sauce, lime juice, Scotch bonnet peppers, green onions, and parsley. Blend until smooth.

2. Marinate the Wings: Place the chicken wings in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the wings, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.

3. Preheat the Grill or Oven: If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If baking, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

4. Prepare the Wings for Cooking: Take the marinated wings out of the refrigerator. If grilling, lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. If baking, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

5. Cook the Wings:
Grilling Method: Place the wings directly on the grill. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally until they are fully cooked and have a nice char.
Baking Method: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through for even cooking.

6. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).

7. Serve: Once fully cooked, remove the wings from heat. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
