Spicy, smoky, and packed with flavor, Jerk Chicken Wings are a must-try for anyone who loves bold, zesty wings.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken wings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
To make your own jerk seasoning:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon ground thyme
- 1/2 tablespoon dark brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/4 tablespoon white vinegar
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 400° F (200° C).
- Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings. Put them in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the jerk seasoning and olive oil to a small bowl and stir to mix well.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Place the chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or tin foil that is lightly greased. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the wings over and continue cooking for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the wings are crispy and browned.
Notes
- Marinating the wings is not strictly necessary, but they will develop more flavor if you marinate for at least 2 hours.
- Jerk seasoning can be bought in mild or hot. Choose which version suits you.
- You can cook these in the oven or in the air fryer.
