Spicy Rum Chicken Wings
- 3/4 cup dark rum
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus wedges for serving
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 5 large cloves garlic, minced
- 3 scallions, finely chopped, plus more for topping
- 1 to 2 habanero chile peppers, seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 12 jumbo chicken wings, split at the joints, tips removed
- Make the marinade: Combine the rum, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, scallions, habaneros, ginger, allspice, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
- Place the wings in a resealable plastic bag and add the marinade.
- Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly, then turn the bag over to completely coat the wings.
- Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight, turning the bag once or twice.
- Drain the wings, reserving the marinade.
- Bring the marinade to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Cook until reduced by about half, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare a charcoal grill by placing coals on half of the grill.
- Light the charcoal and wait for the embers to become white.
- (Add your favorite wood or wood chips at this point.)
- Replace the grate and put the wings on the cooler side of the grill.
- Cover with the lid and cook until the juices run clear, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Remove the wings from the grill and toss with the reduced marinade.
- Place the wings on the grill over direct heat and cook, turning frequently, until the sauce has caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Top with chopped scallions and serve with lime wedges.
