Instructions
- Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. If using a grill, make sure it is clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pre-blended Jerk seasoning, vegetable oil, lime juice, and honey (if using). Mix well to create a marinade.
- Pat dry the chicken wings using paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- Place the chicken wings in a large ziplock bag or a shallow dish. Pour the Jerk seasoning marinade over the wings, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight. This marinating process allows the flavors to penetrate the meat and enhances its tenderness.
- Remove the marinated chicken wings from the bag or dish, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
- Place the wings on the grill or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper if using the oven. If grilling, cook the wings for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a delicious charred appearance. If baking in the oven, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through and golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken wings from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and the flavors to settle.
- Serve the Jerk Seasoning Chicken Wings hot as an appetizer or as part of a main course. Pair them with a side of cooling cucumber yogurt sauce or a zesty mango salsa for a delightful contrast.
