Jerk chicken wings are perfect for summer grilling and make a great appetizer for parties. This is not a wing sauce but rather a marinade. If you have had jerk chicken before you would know it has a very unique flavor.  Some of the interesting flavors in the marinade are ground cloves, nutmeg, and allspice. The chicken wings can be marinated anywhere from 4 hours to overnight. If you want the best flavor I would recommend overnight. This is a very easy recipe, simple marinade the wings and then cook them on the grill. Enjoy.

(Makes 4 Servings)

These were CRAZY good.. I'll say this though.. And not to contradict how they are originally intended.. I baked them.. 450 degrees for 40 - 45 minutes.. I didn't turn them but I moved them at the 20 minute mark to prevent them from sticking... I just didn't have time to grill them so I figured I'd give the oven a try and it worked great so just know that's an option too.. Also, I only let them soak 4 hours because I thought of the idea at lunch so I'll be anxious to see if the flavor profile intensifies when I give them a chance to rest overnight prior to cooking.. Regardless, these will be made again and again in our houselhold.. HOMERUN. Period. Thanks!
