Jerk Chicken Wings
Jerk Chicken Wings are coated in a marinade blending green onions, yellow onion, jalapeno, soy sauce, vinegar, vegetable oil, brown sugar, thyme, and warm spices like cinnamon and cloves. After marinating overnight, wings bake to tender, juicy perfection, then are brushed multiple times with reserved marinade during cooking to build a deeply flavored glaze with balanced heat and sweetness.
