Jerk Chicken Wings
- 3 pounds of chicken wings
- 4 roughly chopped scallions
- 1 peeled shallot
- 1/2 habanero or Scotch bonnet chili
- 1/2-inch peeled fresh ginger
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon allspice berries
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- salt and pepper
- Cut 3 pounds of chicken wings into 3 sections; save the wing tips for stock.
- Toss the wings with a little neutral oil to keep them from sticking.
- Heat a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat.
- Leave one side of the grill cooler for indirect cooking.
- Put the wings on the cool side of the grill.
- Cover the grill and cook, checking and turning once or twice, until most of the fat has been rendered and the wings are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
- While the wings cook, combine 4 roughly chopped scallions, 1 peeled shallot, 1/2 habanero or Scotch bonnet chili, 1/2-inch peeled fresh ginger, 2 garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 1 tablespoon allspice berries, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, salt and pepper in a food processor or blender.
- Blend or process into a paste.
- When the wings are cooked, put them in a large bowl with the sauce, and toss to coat.
- Now put the wings on the hot part of the grill, and cook, uncovered, turning as necessary, until theyre nicely browned on both sides.
