Jerk Chicken Wings
64k
Chef John
"These jerk chicken wings were so flavorful, so different, and so additively delicious, that I may have eaten my last Buffalo wing. Okay, I didn't mean that, but these really are amazing; a perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. I'm usually pretty casual about you changing my recipes, but I'm going to have to insist you not change any of the key ingredients, which are, every one of them."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Put yellow onion, green onions, garlic, habanero peppers, fresh thyme, kosher salt, black pepper, allspice, dried thyme, cinnamon, cumin, nutmeg, vegetable oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice, respectively, in a blender and blend until marinade is completely smooth.
- Place chicken in 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 or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Place chicken drumettes on prepared baking sheet and reserve marinade left in the bowl.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Brush 1/2 the reserved marinade onto chicken and turn wings over. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Turn chicken and brush on remaining 1/2 the reserved marinade. Bake until tender and caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Rest wings on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a serving platter.

We found these too spicy, but that might be because I subbed a different kind of pepper. Will try again with fewer peppers.

I don't give out a five star rating for everything that comes along. I think that by doing so, it diminishes the effectiveness of the rating system. That said, I must say that I really liked thi...

I really loved this recipe. It is very spicy but that is what makes it taste good. I added some shadow beni since I did not have much thyme. It worked really well.

Great recipe. This is the closest recipe I've tried that comes close to the real authentic jerk flavor.

This recipe was amazing!! The flavor was so delicious and there was just enough heat in there that it didn't scare me away and I'm not a spicy food kind of girl. I am recommending this recipe to...

Another home run by Chef John! Took his advice and followed his explicit instructions, only thing is that it marinated for 3 days. But my crowd went wild for it. The blend is a wonderful mix o...
