FOR THE JAMAICAN JERK SAUCE RECIPE
- 5-6 Scotch Bonnet chili peppers chopped (habanero peppers are a good substitute)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare your sauce first by combining all sauce ingredients in a food processor. Process until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Set the chicken wings into a large bowl. Add salt and cover with water. Cover and refrigerate about 3 hours to brine.
Remove and pat the wings dry.
Set them into a large bowl and rub the Jamaican Jerk rub into the skins. Get it in there!
Heat a grill to medium-heat and grill the wings for 20 minutes, turning once half way through. Keep an eye on them so the skins do not overcook.
Once cooked through, toss the wings with the Jamaican Jerk sauce and serve.
