Notes

I’m a drummettes only person, but feel free to use flats if that’s your preference.
The vodka is optional. I use it for a bit more crispiness. Other liquors work just as well, but I prefer vodka as it is pretty much tasteless
Most spice shops have pre-made jerk seasoning you can find online so feel free to use one if it’s available to you and you like it. Otherwise, make my version.
These won’t last long they’re so good, but if you happen to have any leftovers they can be easily be reheated in the oven.
These are flourless wings. If you prefer crunchier traditional flour-coated wings try the approach taken with these crispy air fryer wings.
With the dry seasoning mix you don’t really need a sauce. But if you must, these jerk chicken wings pair well with this jerk bbq sauce or even a green zhug sauce.
