These Jerk Chicken Wings with My Special Butter Sauce Were Fire

Hey everyone! 🍗🌶️

I’ve been on a serious grilling kick lately and decided to make Jamaican-inspired jerk chicken wings today. I went heavier on the pimento berries and scotch bonnet peppers for that authentic heat and aroma. Grilled them direct over lump charcoal with cherry and hickory wood chunks the smoke was perfect.

They turned out ridiculously good. Spicy, savory, smoky, and the special butter sauce I tossed them in at the end took them to another level.

My Grilling Experience

The marinade (dry rub + wet blended seasoning) was packed with flavor. Grilling direct wasn’t the easiest with the wet marinade (I kept a spray bottle handy to manage flare-ups), but it gave amazing char and crispiness. I stayed by the grill the whole time, flipping and moving them around so they cooked evenly.

These jerk wings were spicy, smoky, and incredibly flavorful. The butter BBQ jerk sauce is addictive it’s not a traditional jerk sauce but it works so well. Definitely a new favorite!
