How to Make Jamaican Marinade

  1. In a medium bowl, slowly whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil into 2 tablespoons of Jamaican jerk seasoning until smooth.
  2. Add 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1/4 cup chopped scallions.
  3. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably up to 4 hours, to allow flavors to meld. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful your chicken will be!
  5. Use to marinate approximately 12 chicken wings. Leftover marinade can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
