Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken wings
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning https://amzn.to/3yx0KTa

To make your own jerk seasoning:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground thyme
  • 1/2 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
  • 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 degrees F (200 degrees 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.
