SPICY RUM CHICKEN WINGS

Food Network Star-winner Eddie Jackson knows how to gear up for a big football game whether he's on the field or off. He played in the NFL for four seasons (he's a former Patriots cornerback), and now he owns a food truck, so he has plenty of experience cooking in parking lots. His tailgate go-to: chicken wings made with rum, soy sauce and one of his favorite ingredients, habanero chile peppers.

Time 5h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup dark rum
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus wedges for serving
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
5 large cloves garlic, minced
3 scallions, finely chopped, plus more for topping
1 to 2 habanero chile peppers, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 jumbo chicken wings, split at the joints, tips removed

Steps:

  • Make the marinade: Combine the rum, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, scallions, habaneros, ginger, allspice, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
  • Place the wings in a resealable plastic bag and add the marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly, then turn the bag over to completely coat the wings. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight, turning the bag once or twice.
  • Drain the wings, reserving the marinade. Bring the marinade to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until reduced by about half, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare a charcoal grill by placing coals on half of the grill. Light the charcoal and wait for the embers to become white. (Add your favorite wood or wood chips at this point.) Replace the grate and put the wings on the cooler side of the grill.
  • Cover with the lid and cook until the juices run clear, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Remove the wings from the grill and toss with the reduced marinade. Place the wings on the grill over direct heat and cook, turning frequently, until the sauce has caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes. Top with chopped scallions and serve with lime wedges.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 1/4 cups rum
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup chipotles in adobo sauce
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
Oil, for oiling grill grates

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add the chicken thighs to a large bowl and pour over 1/4 cup of the rum. Add the basil, rosemary, thyme, seafood seasoning, cayenne and 1 tablespoon salt. Stir to coat. Set aside.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rum. Use a dark rum for a richer, more complex flavor. White rum can also be used, but it will impart a lighter flavor.
  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh herbs, spices, and citrus fruits will give your marinade the best flavor.
  • Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes. The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavorful it will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 15 minutes, but the flavor will not be as developed.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts are best cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Chicken thighs can be cooked to an internal temperature of 175 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Rum chicken is delicious served with rice, beans, vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Rum chicken is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to add some Caribbean flair to your next meal. Whether you're grilling, baking, or frying your chicken, a rum marinade will help you create a delicious and memorable dish.
