BAHAMA BREEZE JAMAICAN GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• MARINATING PROCEDURE.
• Add the jerk marinade, garlic, thyme, allspice, water, and scallions in a large bowl and mix well using a whip to evenly combine the ingredients. Add the chicken wings to the marinade, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator on the bottom shelf.
• Tips.
• * Make sure the chicken wings are fully thawed this helps the chicken to fully absorb the marinade.
• * Marinate the chicken wings for 18 to 24 hours before cooking. The longer the marinating time, the more flavorful the wings will become.
• COOKING PROCEDURE.
• After marinating is complete, remove the wings from the marinade and place in a clean bowl. Lightly season the wings with the dry jerk seasoning and lay on a sheet pan with the wing tips face down. Bake the wings at 350ºF for 20 - 25 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove from the oven and place in the refrigerator to chill to 40ºF.
• Tips.
• * Make sure the wings are drained well after being removed from the marinade or the seasoning will not fully adhere to the wings.
• * The wings are cooked with the wing tips face down, to allow more even cooking and removal of excess fat from the chicken skin.
• * By pre-cooking the wings this prevents flare-ups on the grill during the final grilling procedure.
• GRILLING PROCEDURE.
• Heat your gas or charcoal grill to medium heat. Place the chilled wings on the grill and grill for 2 ½ - 3 minutes on each side. The skin of the wings should develop a crisp texture and a mahogany like color. Make sure the wings are fully heated to 165ºF.
• Tips.
• * Wings can also be placed on the grill directly from the oven to express the cooking process.
• * Allspice or pimento leaves can be placed on the grill during the grilling process to give the wings a light smoked flavor.
• Serve hot with your favorite beverage. Enjoy!

BAHAMIAN GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Rinse the chicken pieces under cold running water, then drain and blot dry with paper towels.
• 2. Place the pieces in a non-reactive bowl or baking dish and pour in the lime juice; turn the pieces to coat. Let marinate, at room temperature, for fifteen minutes, turning the pieces once or twice.
• 3. Pour off and discard the lime juice, then add the onion, garlic, chili, thyme, oil, paprika, salt, and pepper and turn the chicken pieces to coat thoroughly. Let the chicken marinated in this mixture for at least fifteen minutes or as long as 1 to 2 hours (the longer the better), covering and refrigerating if marinating the longer time.
• 4. Preheat the grill, using the two-tiered method (direct and non-direct cooking).
• 5. When ready to cook, oil the grill grate. Using a rubber spatula, scrape any bits of onion or garlic off the chicken pieces. Arrange to pieces, skin side down on the grate over the hotter section of the grill and cook for three to five minutes, and finish cooking as directed in the next 2 steps.
• 6. After oiling the grill grate, place the pieces, skin side down, on the hotter section of the grill. Cook until the skin starts to brown, three to five minutes. Move the pieces to the cooler section of the grill and continue grilling until the skin is thoroughly browned, five to seven minutes more. Watch carefully and use tongs to move the pieces away from flare-ups.
• 7. Turn the pieces and move them back to the hotter section of the grill. Brown the second sides well (three to five minutes), and then move the pieces back to the cooler side of the grill to finish cooking.
• 8. The total cooking time will be 16 to 24 minutes. When ready the chicken will be crisp and golden brown outside and juices will run clear when the meat is pierced.
