Matt's Jerk Chicken Wings
Matt makes jerk chicken wings from scratch using a kilo of wings.
I'll be honest, I love chicken wings and I love jerk chicken, so this recipe was kind of inevitable. There's nothing much better than really getting stuck into a big plate of tasty wings. Your hands get messy (you can't exactly eat them with a fork now can you?), you get it all round you face, basically, you need to shower afterwards, but it's definitively worth it. Me and the missus have started having a weekly wing night, mainly due to how bloody good this recipe is. So it's only fair that you should try it too. You really won't regret it. Not one bit.
