Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, split and tips removed

  • 1/2 cup jerk marinade (homemade or store-bought)

For Honey Garlic Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup honey

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

Optional Jerk Marinade (if homemade):

  • 2 Scotch bonnet peppers (or habaneros)

  • 4 cloves garlic

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme

  • 1 tbsp allspice

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 1 tbsp vinegar

  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Marinate wings in jerk marinade for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and a wire rack.

  • Arrange wings on rack and bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway.

  • In a saucepan, melt butter, then sauté garlic until fragrant. Add honey and soy sauce. Simmer until slightly thickened (3–4 minutes).

  • Toss hot wings in glaze. Optional: return to oven for 5 more minutes to set glaze.

  • Serve hot with dipping sauce or fresh lime wedges.

Notes

  • Grill instead of bake for smoky flavor.

  • For milder heat, reduce Scotch bonnet in marinade or use jalapeños.

  • Store leftovers in fridge up to 4 days; reheat in oven or air fryer.
