Recipes Appetizers and Snacks Meat and Poultry Chicken Jerk Chicken Wings 4.9 (164) 122 Reviews 53 Photos These jerk chicken wings are so flavorful, different, and delicious that I may have eaten my last Buffalo wing. Okay, I didn't mean that, but these are amazing and have the perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. I'm usually pretty casual about you changing my recipes, but I insist you not change any of the key ingredients, which are every one of them.

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings ½ yellow onion, chopped 3 habanero peppers, seeded and chopped ½ cup green onions, sliced ⅓ cup lime juice 3 tablespoons soy sauce 6 cloves garlic 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 tablespoon kosher salt 2 teaspoons ground black pepper 2 teaspoons ground allspice 1 teaspoon dried thyme ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon ground cumin ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 3 pounds chicken wing drumettes cooking spray Directions Place yellow onion, habanero peppers, green onions, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, fresh thyme, brown sugar, oil, salt, black pepper, allspice, dried thyme, cinnamon, cumin, and nutmeg into a blender. Blend until marinade is completely smooth. Place chicken drumettes into a large bowl. Pour marinade over chicken and toss to coat completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours to overnight. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray. Arrange chicken evenly on the prepared baking sheet; reserve marinade in the bowl. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Brush 1/2 of the reserved marinade onto chicken, then turn over. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn chicken over and brush with remaining reserved marinade. Continue baking until tender and caramelized, 10 to 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Rest chicken on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a serving platter. Recipe Tip You can marinate the wings for 2 hours at room temperature, turning every 15 minutes, instead of marinating in the refrigerator overnight. I Made It Print 428 home cooks made it!
