Chef John's zesty jerk chicken wings: marinated in fiery habanero, tangy lime juice, and a blend of brown sugar, garlic, herbs, and spices, then baked to perfection.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 habanero peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 0.5 cup green onions, sliced
  • 0.33333334326744 cup lime juice
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 3 pounds chicken wing drumettes
  • cooking spray
Instructions:
  • Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until you have a smooth marinade.
  • In a large bowl, add the chicken drumettes and pour over the marinade. Toss until chicken is completely coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C), then line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat it with cooking spray.
  • Lay out the chicken evenly on the baking sheet, keeping the marinade in the bowl for later use.
  • Brush half of the reserved marinade onto the chicken, then flip it over. Bake in the preheated oven for a total of 40 minutes, brushing with marinade halfway through.
  • Flip the chicken and generously brush with the leftover marinade. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until tender and beautifully caramelized. Use a thermometer to ensure the temperature near the bone reaches at least 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
