Jerk Chicken Wings

Hi! Sorry I’ve been relatively out of touch, but between Hawaii trips, catering wedding showers, etc., it’s been a busy few weeks.

Luckily, one of those endeavors yielded a bunch of new recipes to share. Here is the first. I basically adapted a Bobby Flay recipe for jerk chicken that I’d made with success and just used a similar marinade for wings.

Package chicken wings, separated, wing tip removed

vegetable oil

1 onion, chopped

2 scallions, chopped

1 jalapeno or habanero pepper, chopped (seeds removed)

some grated fresh ginger

3 cloves garlic, chopped

fresh thyme, chopped

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon dark brown sugar

cinnamon

nutmeg

Pinch ground cloves

allspice

salt and pepper

fresh lime juice

Combine all ingredients except chicken in food processor. Pulse into a marinade. Marinade chicken for as long as you can – at least overnight if possible.

Preheat oven to 400. Cook until wings are cooked through and crisp – I think they took about a half hour, 35 minutes, if I recall.
