Caribbean Chicken Wings
I got this recipe from the food network. I tried it without the fennell since I don't care for that flavor. I have done this recipe twice and I enjoy it. Easy and quick to make. I substituted a jalepeno instead of habanero, (if you want the heat use the habanero). I would also double the marinade if you are making more than 4 pounds of wings. I think I might try grilling them next time to get them a little crispier. Medium heat would be better because of all the sugar in the marinade. If anyone tries grilling them let me know how they come out.
Ingredients:
- 1 habanero, seeded and chopped
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons fennel seed
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons allspice
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 7 pounds chicken wings
Directions:
In a food processor, blend together all the ingredients but the chicken until smooth. Reserve 1 cup of marinade. Place chicken wings into a large resealable plastic bag and pour remaining marinade over them. Seal and marinate in the refrigerator 4 to 6 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet trays with parchment. Remove chicken from bag and place on the baking sheets. Bake 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan bring reserved marinade to a boil. Reduce by 1/3 until it thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove chicken from oven. Brush chicken with the glaze. Raise the heat to 400 degrees F and cook chicken until cooked through, another 20 minutes
