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.

JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN WINGS



Jamaican Jerk Chicken Wings image

You can adjust the heat in this recipe by the type of pepper you use. I used serrano peppers and thought it was just right, but I like food pretty spicy so if that's not for you, use a milder pepper, such as jalapeno. I found this in the Chicago Tribune 'Good Eating' section. I added the 2 hour chill time to the prep time.
