Honey Garlic Jerk Chicken Wings Flavorful and Easy Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- 0 Green onions, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the jerk seasoning, honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, olive oil, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix until a smooth marinade forms.
- Add the chicken wings to the marinade, making sure each wing is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Remove the wings from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and place them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are cooked through and crispy.
- For an extra crispy finish, switch your oven to broil mode for the last 5 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
