APPETIZERS, SIDES, SOUPS & SALADS
JAMACIAN GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS
Serves: 6

INGREDIENTS:
Jerk marinade (your favorite) 3 cups
Garlic, chopped 3 Tbsp
Thyme, fresh chopped 1 Tbsp
Allspice, ground 1 tsp
Water 1 cup
Scallions, sliced 1/8″ 4 Tbsp
Chicken Wings whole, thawed 5 pounds
Jerk Seasoning Dry* as needed

MARINATING PROCEDURE
Add the jerk marinade, garlic, thyme, allspice, water, and scallions in a large bowl and mix well using a whip to evenly combine the ingredients. Add the chicken wings to the marinade, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator on the bottom shelf.
Tips
##Make sure the chicken wings are fully thawed this helps the chicken to fully absorb the marinade.
##Marinate the chicken wings for 18 to 24 hours before cooking. The longer the marinating time, the more flavorful the wings will become.

COOKING PROCEDURE
After marinating is complete, remove the wings from the marinade and place in a clean bowl. Lightly season the wings with the dry jerk seasoning and lay on a sheet pan with the wing tips face down. Bake the wings at 350ºF for 20 – 25 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove from the oven and place in the refrigerator to chill to 40ºF.

Tips
Make sure the wings are drained well after being removed from the marinade or the seasoning will not fully adhere to the wings.
The wings are cooked with the wing tips face down, to allow more even cooking and removal of excess fat from the chicken skin.
By pre-cooking the wings this prevents flare-ups on the grill during the final grilling procedure

GRILLING PROCEDURE
Heat your gas or charcoal grill to medium heat. Place the chilled wings on the grill and grill for 2 ½ – 3 minutes on each side. The skin of the wings should develop a crisp texture and a mahogany like color. Make sure the wings are fully heated to 165ºF.

Tips
Wings can also be placed on the grill directly from the oven to express the cooking process.
Allspice or pimento leaves can be placed on the grill during the grilling process to give the wings a light smoked flavor.

Serve hot with your favorite beverage. (recipe & picture courtesy of Bahamabreeze.com)

Eating habits to promote hair growth

Continuous washing, styling and coloring can wreak havoc on the hair. To encourage optimal hair health, focus on a diet rich in essential vitamins, minerals, proteins and beneficial fats.

As an established leader in hair growth, HairMax provides a list of super foods known to strengthen, from the inside out:

Protein:

Chicken

Chicken

Hair is comprised of about 97% protein, a critical building block of the body. Without it, the body can’t replace the hairs that you naturally shed.

Prevent unnecessary hair loss by reaching for soy, poultry and lean cuts of beef.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids:

Salmon

Salmon

The hair shaft consists of 2-3% of omega-3s, which are also found in the scalp’s cells and sebum, known to hydrate the scalp and hair.

Since the body doesn’t produce its own omega-3s, ensure silky strands by consuming walnuts, salmon, sardines, trout, mackerel, avocado and pumpkin seeds.

Zinc:

nuts

nuts

Support the glands attached to your hair follicles with zinc, a mineral whose absence causes hair to weaken and fall out. Zinc also promotes balanced hormone levels, which is directly linked to hair health.

To strengthen those tresses, opt for oysters, whole-grain breads, nuts, beef, eggs and shrimp.

Iron:

Greens

Greens

Vital for the production of hemoglobin, which is responsible for oxygen transport through blood, iron is necessary to ensure healthy blood flow to stimulate hair growth.

To encourage hair growth, reach for raisins, dried cherries, eggs, kale, dates and whole-grain cereals.

Don’t have time to eat right? Sometimes our body needs that little extra help to get the essential nourishment needed for healthy hair growth. Reach the daily nutritional goals not fulfilled through diet alone with HairMax’ Dietary Supplements. The nutrient-rich formulas are specifically designed with androgen blockers and powerful antioxidants to support scalp health and promote hair growth. See more at www.hairmax.com
