Rubs are tasty, and jerk rub is my absolute favorite.
2-3 tablespoons allspice (pre-ground if you don’t like crunchy bits)
2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
7 assorted peppers, stemmed and seeded
1 small onion
several cloves garlic
black pepper and salt to taste
Throw it all in a food processor and process until mostly smooth. This makes enough for at least a “family size” package of wings. Watch out for the peppers, it’s best to wear some rubber gloves when handling them. I like the flavor of a variety of peppers, but if you want maximum heat just use scotch bonnets. Herbs like thyme or oregano add some nice flavor too.
Jerk rub goes well with most any sort of meat but I especially enjoy it with chicken wings and flank steak. Marinate for several hours or over night for maximum flavor.
