Steps:
- Place onion, scallion, garlic, habaneros, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, brown sugar, thyme, allspice, black pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon in the jar of a blender and puree until smooth.
- Place chicken wings in a large Ziploc bag and pour in marinade. Seal bag, pressing out as much air as possible and refrigerate overnight to 24 hours.
- Remove chicken from the refrigerator. Thread wings onto skewers lengthwise, spreading wings out to their full length. Let chicken come to room temperature while preparing grill.
- Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover gill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Place wings pieces on the hot side of the grill and cook until well browned on all sides, about 3-5 minutes. Move chicken to cool side of the grill, cover, and continue to cook until darkly browned and chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes more. Remove from grill, allow to cool for 5 minutes, and serve.
GRILLED JERK-SPICED CHICKEN WINGS WITH MANGO SAUCE
At one of the highest levels of heat comes one of Jamaica's most famous exports. Not reggae, not rum...JERK CHICKEN. We can handle the heat, but we're not here to show off how much pain we can tolerate. Looking to hit a delicate balance between heat and flavor, we made a fiery jerk-inspired spice rub for chicken wings and added a sweet and spicy mango-cilantro sauce to temper the heat.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for high indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off).
- For the wings: Add the paprika, cayenne, allspice, nutmeg, garlic powder, cloves, ginger, minced garlic, thyme, salt and pepper to a small bowl and stir to combine. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the spice mixture for the mango sauce.
- Put the chicken wings in a large bowl with the remaining spice mixture. Toss to evenly coat. Reserve the wings while you make the sauce.
- For the mango-cilantro sauce: Put the orange juice, mango jam, 1 tablespoon reserved spice mixture, honey, cilantro, orange zest, scallions and Scotch bonnet in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into a bowl and reserve at room temperature while you grill the wings.
- Place the chicken wings on the grill over the indirect heat zone. Cover and grill for 5 minutes. Flip the wings and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes. Move the wings directly over the heat and cook until nicely charred and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the wings from the grill and toss with the reserved sauce. Pile onto a platter and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Steps:
- Combine the scallions, oil, soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, thyme leaves, allspice, cinnamon, garlic, Scotch bonnet peppers, lime zest and juice and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper in a food processor. Pulse until smooth. Reserve 1/2 cup marinade for basting later. Put the chicken wings and remaining marinade in a large resealable plastic bag. Rub the thyme sprigs between your hands and add to the bag. Seal the bag and massage to distribute the marinade evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight. Remove to room temperature 30 minutes before grilling.
- Preheat a grill for indirect and direct grilling over medium heat. For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
- Lightly oil the grill grates. Remove the wings from the bag and season all over with salt. Add the wings to the indirect-heat side. Cover and cook, flipping halfway through, about 20 minutes (the wings will be almost completely cooked at this point). Uncover the grill and baste the wings with some of the reserved marinade. Flip the wings onto the hot side of the grill to crisp up and cook, about 3 minutes, then baste, flip and cook until the wings are cooked all the way through, about 4 minutes more.
- Sprinkle with sliced scallions and serve with lime wedges.

Tips:

- Serve the chicken wings with your favorite dipping sauce, such as jerk sauce, barbecue sauce, or honey mustard.
- For a healthier version of this recipe, you can grill the chicken wings instead of frying them.
