Smoked Jerk Wings with Caribbean Rum Sauce
These Smoked Jerk Wings with Caribbean Rum Sauce are an outstanding recipe!
At a birthday party last week, our good friend made some amazing smoked chicken wings.
My husband and I could not stop thinking about them.
So we made it our weekend plan to make our own smoked wings.
He loves the Caribbean Jerk wings at Buffalo Wild Wings, so that was my inspiration for these.
I have a ridiculous spice collection, and had all 11 of these spices in stock already.
As I was making the sauce with Captain Morgan’s rum, my husband asked why I decided to add rum…my answer?
“Well, duh…pirates…pirates of the Caribbean…rum…got a little captain in ya?!” š
I think he still loves me even though I’m kinda weird most of the time.
How to Make Smoked Jerk Wings with Caribbean Rum Sauce
This is 4 pounds of chicken wings. I coated with some soy sauce and about 5 Tbsps of the jerk seasoning.
Put the rest of the seasoning in a container for later use.
Trust me, you’ll want to use it again and again.
It sat in the fridge for about an hour.
We have quite a collection of smokers and grills on our back patio.
For this we used our Traeger set to 250 degrees.
About 2 hours into the smoking I brushed them with some of the rum sauce.
And brushed a few more times during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Making the total cook time 2 and a half hours.
Just make sure they are 170 degrees with a thermometer.
The sauce was super easy to make!
Just rum, ketchup, soy sauce, lime juice, ginger paste, garlic, and some of the jerk seasoning in a saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
My husband asked if I could just make Smoked Jerk Wings with Caribbean Rum Sauce about once a week, they were so good I did my happy dance after tasting it!
