Instructions
Creating these Jerk Chicken Wings is easier than you might think! Just follow these simple steps:
1. Prep the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, green onions, garlic, ginger, Scotch bonnet peppers, allspice, thyme, cinnamon, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Wings: Add chicken wings to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the Oven: If baking, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Alternatively, if grilling, prepare your grill for medium heat.
4. Prepare for Cooking: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top if baking. This allows for even cooking and crispiness.
5. Arrange the Wings: Take the wings out of the marinade and shake off excess. Place them in a single layer on the wire rack or directly on the grill.
6. Bake or Grill: If baking, cook for 30-40 minutes, turning halfway through. If grilling, cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are charred and cooked through.
7. Check Doneness: Chicken wings should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Ensure they’re cooked thoroughly before removing them from heat.
8. Rest the Wings: Let the wings rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, making them tender and juicy.
9. Garnish(Optional): If desired, sprinkle with additional chopped green onions or cilantro for added flavor and color.
