Jerk Chicken Wings

Ingredients

• 2½-3 pounds (1-1.5k) chicken wings
• 1½-2 teaspoons (7-10g) salt
• 2-3 tablespoons (24-36g) jerk seasoning
• 1 teaspoon olive oil ((optional))

Steps

1. 1

   About 15 minutes before ready to bake, preheat oven to 425℉ (220℃).

2. 2

   Wash chicken wings and, if time permits, let them dry out uncovered in the fridge for 2-3 hours. Optionally, cut off the tips and separate the drummettes and flats.

3. 3

   If short on time, pat wings dry with a paper or kitchen towel, then proceed with the next step.

4. 4

   Place the chicken in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt and the jerk seasoning. Drizzle with optional oil, though it does help the spices stick and the skin to crisp up.

5. 5

   Line a baking pan with foil and then top it with a wire rack. Arrange chicken wings on top in a single layer.

6. 6

   Bake the chicken wings until cooked through and the skin is crispy, 45-50 minutes, flipping them halfway through.

7. 7

   Take them out of the oven and serve immediately with your favorite chicken wing dipping sauce.
