Pineapple Jerk Chicken Wings part 2 !!!


In my on going attempt to make a great wing...

This time, I had a 20 pound bag of wings, and tried a couple different recipes to try to recreate a Pineapple jerk Chicken wing.  Again, no grill, so I will be baking.

OK,,,


I wanted to try A dry jerk rub instead of the wet rub I used last week...

And here it is.  It is the commercial dry jerk rub that my "spice guy" in Kansas City sells.  Very good.  So, I coated the wings with the dry rub...


Sadly... baked, not grilled... 45 minutes at 375 degrees...


I took a can of sliced pineapple... tossed the whole thing, juice and pineapple into a mini chopper and nearly liquefied it all...

Brushed it thickly on the nearly cooked wings... turned them over and brushed on the other side as well...

Back in the 375 degree oven for 10 minutes...


  And a REALLY good combination of heat from the spice and sweet from the pineapple...

Easier, cheaper and different, but equally as good as the wet rub... My new signature chicken wing recipe!

Someday soon, I will post my Coconut Rum/Pineapple Juice Risotto... A combination of spicy chicken wings and sweet risotto...

This was a GREAT meal!

A fine meal indeed!

  3. I love me some wings but I especially love me some pearly perfect risotto - people think they can make rice but the proof is in the pudding - so to speak - nice job.
