Yield: 6 to 8 servings

6 pounds - jumbo chicken wings
6 tablespoons - vegetable oil
6 tablespoons - Spanish onion
1/2 pepper - scotch bonnet pepper
1 pinch - fresh ginger, grated
1 clove - fresh garlic

Combine all marinade ingredients in a large bowl and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Add the raw chicken wings to the Jerk Marinade; cover and refrigerate. To enhance their flavor, allow the chicken to marinade overnight.

After the chicken wings have marinated overnight, re-season with a little salt and pepper before grilling. Heat the grill to medium and lightly oil the grates before putting the wings on. Grill each wing should take 12 minutes, 6 minutes per side. Remove from grill, garnish with grilled lime halves and enjoy!

Serve your Jerk Wings with a citrus barbecue sauce and blue cheese dip.

Makes about 3 dozen wings to serves 6-8 people.
