Ingredients

For The Turkey Wings

• 6 medium turkey wing pieces

• 4 spring onions

• 8 thyme sprigs (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)

• 4 garlic cloves

• Thumb‑sized piece of ginger

• 4 Scotch bonnet peppers (see Notes)

• 2 bouillon seasoning cubes (about 2 teaspoons)

• 2 teaspoons allspice (or 10–12 whole berries)

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar (or white sugar)

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or juice from half a lemon)

• 2 tablespoons oil

• 2 teaspoons salt

• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika (optional, for extra smokiness)

Direction

1. Make The Marinade
   Blend spring onions, thyme, garlic, ginger, Scotch bonnet peppers, bouillon seasoning, allspice, sugar, lemon juice, oil, salt, and smoked paprika until smooth.

2. Prep The Turkey Wings
   Using a sharp knife, cut shallow slits into the turkey wings so the marinade penetrates deeply.

3. Marinate
   Rub the jerk marinade all over the wings, making sure to get inside the cuts.
   Let it sit for at least 4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.

4. Air Fry
   Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
   Arrange wings in a single layer with space for air circulation.
   Air fry for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
   Cooking time may vary depending on wing size.

5. Serve And Enjoy

Notes

Scotch Bonnet Heat Guide

• Nigerian atarodo: use as much as you can handle — milder and fruitier.

• International Scotch bonnet (often hotter): stick to 1–2 peppers.

• For less heat: remove seeds and veins.

• For substitutes: use habanero (similar heat), or mix bell pepper + a little cayenne for a mild version.
