JERK CHICKEN WINGS
These jerk chicken wings were so flavorful, so different, and so additively delicious, that I may have eaten my last Buffalo wing. Okay, I didn't mean that, but these really are amazing; a perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. I'm usually pretty casual about you changing my recipes, but I'm going to have to insist you not change any of the key ingredients, which are, every one of them.

Steps:
- Put yellow onion, green onions, garlic, habanero peppers, fresh thyme, kosher salt, black pepper, allspice, dried thyme, cinnamon, cumin, nutmeg, vegetable oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice, respectively, in a blender and blend until marinade is completely smooth.
- Place chicken in 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 or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Place chicken drumettes on prepared baking sheet and reserve marinade left in the bowl.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Brush 1/2 the reserved marinade onto chicken and turn wings over. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Turn chicken and brush on remaining 1/2 the reserved marinade. Bake until tender and caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Rest wings on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a serving platter.

CARIBBEAN JERK CHICKEN WINGS
Steps:
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Prepare sauce by combining all ingredients together in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until heated through.
- Rub jerk seasoning into chicken wings. Grill for 10 to 12 minutes or until cooked through. Brush generously with sauce and serve.
Tips:
- Use a combination of wing sections: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of wing sections, including drumettes, flats, and wingettes.
- Marinate the wings for at least 30 minutes: This will help the wings to absorb the flavors of the marinade and make them more tender.
- Cook the wings over medium heat: This will help to prevent the wings from drying out.
- Flip the wings halfway through cooking: This will help to ensure that the wings are cooked evenly.
- Serve the wings with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and barbecue sauce.
