Ingredients:
For the Wings:
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split at joints, tips discarded
- 2 tablespoons Jamaican jerk seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Buffalo Sauce:
- 1/2 cup hot sauce
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
Optional Garnish:
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Lime wedges
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with Jamaican jerk seasoning, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the wings are cooked through and crispy.
- In a small saucepan, combine the hot sauce, butter, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the sauce is heated through. Remove from heat. Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl.
- Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
