Ingredients
Scale
For the Wings:
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split at joints and tips removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Jamaican jerk seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For Serving:
- Chopped green onions
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Prepare the wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
- Make the marinade: In a separate small bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, jerk seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, allspice, cinnamon, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
- Coat the wings: Pour the marinade over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
- Bake the wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and lime wedges. Serve hot.
Notes
- For deeper flavor, marinate the wings for at least 1 hour or overnight before baking.
- Serve with rice, plantains, or a creamy dip like ranch or yogurt sauce to balance the heat.
