JERK CHICKEN WINGS



Jerk Chicken Wings image

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.

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 18 wings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups store bought mustard-based BBQ sauce (recommended: Cattleman's Gold Sauce)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 (6-ounce) can crushed pineapple
Salt and pepper
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Store bought jerk seasoning
18 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.
