Jerk Chicken Wings
- 3 pounds chicken wings
- 4 to 6 Scotch bonnet chiles, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
- 6 scallions, white and green parts, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme, tough stems removed
- 1/3 cup whole allspice berries, finely ground
- 3 tablespoons rum
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar, plus more to taste if necessary
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste if necessary
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste if necessary
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- About 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
- Chop off the chicken wing tips; discard them or save them for making stock.
- Cut each wing in half at the joint.
- Place the pieces in a 4-quart slow cooker.
- In a food processor or blender, combine all the remaining ingredients except the honey and process to a smooth, barely pourable paste.
- Scrape the paste into the cooker and toss to coat the wings.
- Cook, covered, on the low setting for 4 to 6 hours, until the wings are tender but not quite falling off the bones.
- Preheat the oven to 425F.
- Using tongs, remove the chicken wings from the cooker and arrange them on a nonstick sheet pan in one layer so that the pieces arent touching one another.
- Drizzle the honey, if using, over the wings.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the wings are crisp and starting to brown.
- Serve the wings hot or at room temperature.
