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.

Ingredients

  • 0.5 yellows onion , chopped
  • 3 habaneros peppers , seeded and chopped
  • 0.5 cups green onions , sliced
  • 0.33 cups 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
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
  • 3 pounds chicken wing drumettes
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray.

  4. 4

    Arrange chicken evenly on the prepared baking sheet; reserve marinade in the bowl.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Brush 1/2 of the reserved marinade onto chicken, then turn over. Bake for 15 minutes.

  6. 6

    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.
