These jerk chicken wings are delicious, spicy and juicy. They are double-fried for a restaurant worthy level of crispiness.

📝 Ingredients

  • 2 lb chicken wings
  • 1/3 cup jerk sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 L vegetable or canola oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Heat the oil to 250°F (120°C) in a large heavy bottomed pot.
  2. 2Place a cooling rack on top of a flat baking pan like a cookie sheet near the stove.
  3. 3Wash and pat the chicken dry with paper towels and then season the chicken with the salt.
  4. 4Fry the chicken wings in the oil in batches for 8 minutes each batch.
  5. 5Remove the chicken wings from the oil after 8 minutes and place them on the cooling rack. Let the wings cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  6. 6Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry the chicken wings in batches a second time for 8 minutes or until the wings are crispy and golden with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  7. 7Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Pour the jerk sauce into the pan and cook for about 5 minutes on low heat.
  8. 8Pour the wings and the jerk sauce into a mixing bowl and toss together to coat the wings with the sauce.
  9. 9You can serve the wings with ranch dressing for dipping, and carrots and celery as sides.
