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.

Instructions

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
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
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray.
-
4
Arrange chicken evenly on the prepared baking sheet; reserve marinade in the bowl.
-
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
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.

Chili Soup
We make this chili soup for our Sioux Center Christian School soup supper. It is designed to be easy and relatively inexpensive.
Oysters Bienville
Oysters Bienville are baked oysters, smothered in a delicious sauce of bacon, shrimp, and mushrooms, topped with bread crumbs and fresh herbs. If you can't quite do raw oysters, try this dish—I love to serve it as an appetizer. Plan on about 2 oysters per person. To save time, you may buy shucked oysters. Place 2 oysters each in a small buttered ramekin and omit the rock salt.
Concord Cosmopolitan Martini
Great vodka and grape juice martini or cosmo depending on where you live! I use Ciroc vodka, which isn't like any other vodka because it is distilled from fine French grapes. You can actually taste the grape in the vodka!
