- 1 lbs. (0.5 kg) unsplit chicken wings
- 1 tbsp. salt
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ¼ cup (34 g) Jamaican jerk seasoning
- 2 tbsp. (13 g) brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 3 whole green onions, trimmed
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tbsp. (30 ml) neutral oil
- 1 to 5 scotch bonnet peppers
- ¼ to ½ tsp. Black Gel Food Coloring (Wilton brand suggested)
Cooling Coconut Dip
- ½ cup (123 g) unsweetened coconut yogurt
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. garlic powder
- Garnish with chopped cilantro
- The night before, toss wings in a mixture of salt and baking powder. Place on a rack set into a baking sheet and allow them to dry in the fridge, uncovered until you are ready to grill. Approximately 24 hours.
- When you are ready to cook, combine the jerk seasoning, sugar, garlic, green onion, lime juice, and oil in a blender. Up the heat by adding scotch bonnet peppers. Blend until smooth. Add the gel food coloring, a little at a time, until you have a deep black color.
- In a stainless steel bowl, while wearing gloves, combine the jerk sauce with the dried chicken wings, tossing until well coated.
- When you’re ready to grill, preheat the grill to 400°F (200°C) using the rear burner.
- Spray the Napoleon Rotisserie Basket with nonstick and then fill it with the wings.
- Grill the wings in the rotisserie basket for 60 minutes, or until 160°F (71°C) inside.
- While waiting for the wings to cook, combine the yogurt, lime juice and zest, salt, and garlic. When you are ready to serve, garnish with cilantro.
- Serve the wings on a platter with loads of wet wipes.
