Ingredients

  • 3 cups Jerk Marinade of choice, store bought or homemade
  • 3 tablespoons chopped Garlic
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped Thyme
  • 1 teaspoon ground Allspice
  • 1 cup Water
  • 4 tablespoons thinly sliced Scallions
  • 5 pounds whole Chicken Wings cut into planks and drumlettes, if you like
  • Dry Jerk Seasoning of choice, store bought or homemade, as needed

Instructions

  • Mix jerk marinade, garlic, thyme, allspice, water and scallions in a large bowl.
  • Add chicken wings.
  • Cover with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator on the bottom shelf. Marinate the chicken wings for 18 - 24 hours before cooking. The longer they marinate, the more flavorful the wings will become.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Remove wings from marinade and shake off excess. Place wings in a clean bowl. Discard marimade.
  • Lightly season the wings with the dry jerk seasoning.
  • Place wings on a sheet pan with the wing tips face down, if whole.
  • Place sheet pan in oven and bake wings for 20 - 25 minutes or until fully cooked.
  • Heat grill to medium.
  • Place wings on the grill. Grill for 2 1/2 - 3 minutes on each side. The skin should develop a crisp texture and a mahogany-like color. Make sure the wings are fully heated to a safe-to-eat 165°F. (See the box below this recipe to tell how to correctly check the temperature of your wings.)
