Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare a grill for medium heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, allspice, cayenne pepper, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make the marinade.
Place the chicken wings in the bowl and toss them thoroughly to coat them with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.
If baking, line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the rack, reserving any leftover marinade.
Brush the wings lightly with vegetable oil and bake them in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Flip the wings and bake for another 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should read 165°F).
If grilling, oil the grill grates lightly with vegetable oil. Grill the wings over medium heat for 15-18 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are fully cooked and have nice grill marks.
While the wings are cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to ensure it is food-safe.
Remove the cooked wings and toss them in the simmered marinade. Add honey to the mixture for a glaze, tossing until the wings are well-coated.
Garnish the wings with chopped scallions and fresh cilantro if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your tropical-inspired Jamaica Mistaica Wings!
