Caribbean Grilled Jerk Wings
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 habanero pepper, seeded and chopped (use gloves)
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 12 large chicken wings, tips removed and wings cut apart at joint
Instructions
1
Combine the orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, salt, black pepper, thyme, garlic, ginger, habanero pepper, curry powder, allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a bowl. Whisk the vegetable oil into the mixture to create a uniform blend.
2
Transfer 3/4 of the marinade mixture to a resealable plastic zipper bag and place the chicken wing pieces inside. Remove any air pockets and thoroughly coat the wings with the marinade, then refrigerate for 4 to 12 hours.
3
Set aside 1/4 of the remaining marinade mixture in a small bowl and refrigerate until it's time to grill.
4
Preheat the outdoor grill to medium heat, taking care not to apply too much oil to the grate.
5
Carefully remove the wing pieces from their marinade bag, discarding the used marinade in the process. Season the wings with salt and pepper to taste before searing them on the hottest part of the grill, cooking for 4 minutes per side until they begin to brown.
6
Transfer the wings to a less-hot part of the grill and baste them with the unused portion of the marinade. Close the grill and cook until the wings are golden brown, displaying good grill marks and no longer pink in the center. The juices should run clear during this time, taking 10 to 15 minutes.
7
Baste the wings again with marinade and turn them over after 5 to 8 minutes.
