Jamaican Jerk Hot Wings

Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, smeared in an island jerk and hot sauce.

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt 
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried garlic 
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 pounds chicken wingettes and drumettes (see Note)
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons red hot sauce, preferably Frank’s Red Hot
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon jerk paste
  • Fresh thyme leaves, for sprinkling
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 500°. Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with vegetable oil. In a bowl, mix the flour with the salt, garlic, onion and thyme. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Spread the chicken on the baking sheet in a single layer and spray with vegetable oil. Roast the chicken for 45 minutes, turning once or twice, until browned and crispy.
