Ingredients
- 3 cups Jerk Marinade of choice, store bought or homemade
- 3 tablespoons chopped Garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground Allspice
- 1 cup Water
- 4 tablespoons Scallions sliced 1/8-inch
- 5 pounds whole Chicken Wings fresh or frozen (fully thawed)
- Jerk Seasoning Dry as needed, of choice, store bought or homemade
Instructions
Marinating
- In a large bowl combine jerk marinade, garlic, thyme, allspice, water and scallions. Mix well to evenly combine the ingredients.
- Add the chicken wings to the marinade.
- Store, covered, in the refrigerator, on the bottom shelf. Marinate wings for 18 to 24 hours before cooking.
Cooking
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- After marinating is complete, remove wings from the marinade, shaking off excess.
- Place wings in a clean bowl.
- Lightly season wings with the dry jerk seasoning. Toss to cover completely. Lay wings on a sheet pan with the wing tips face down.
- Place wings in oven and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until fully cooked. (Click here to see how to check your wings are done and safe to eat.)
- Remove from the oven and place in the refrigerator to chill to 40ºF.
Grilling
- When ready to serve, heat your gas or charcoal grill to medium heat.
- Place chilled wings on the grill. Grill for 2 1/2 - 3 minutes on each side. The skin of the wings should develop a crisp texture and a mahogany-like color. Make sure the wings are fully heated to 165ºF.
Pre-cooking the wings in the oven prevents flare-ups on the grill during the final grilling procedure.
Wings can also be placed on the grill directly from the oven to express the cooking process.
