Instructions

Jerk Sauce

Rough chop onion, green onion, garlic, and habaneros, add to a blender or food processor with all other jerk sauce ingredients (aside from chicken).
Blitz until well processed and smooth.
Transfer mixture to saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, simmer 10 minutes or so, whisking often until thickened
Remove sauce from stove, use warm. (Can be chilled for future use)

For Air Fryer Wings (Pictured)

Preheat Air Fryer to 380 F. Spread wings out in a single layer, or per your air fryer's instructions.
Cook wings for 20 minutes, flipping them after about 12 minutes.
At 20 minutes, transfer wings to a heat safe bowl, and toss with jerk sauce.
Return to the air fryer and cook another 5-8 minutes, until the wings are cooked through and the sauce has glazed on them.
Serve hot, topped with sliced green onion.

For Deep Fried Wings:

Heat oil 375 degrees F. You can use a deep fryer, or a heavy pan. If not using a deep fryer, use a deep, heavy pot, filled to at least 3″ deep.
Fry chicken wings in batches of about a dozen pieces each – allowing oil to come back up to temperature between each batch – until golden brown. (About 10-15 minutes per batch).
Transfer fried wings to a large bowl, toss with jerk sauce, and serve hot, topped with green onion slices.

For Baked Wings:

Preheat oven to 400 F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange wings on baking sheet, bake for 35 minutes.
Toss the wings with jerk sauce to coat, return to the baking sheet and spread out.
Cook for another 10 minutes or so, until cooked through and sauce has formed a glaze.
Toss the wings with jerk sauce to coat, return to the baking sheet and spread out. Cook for another 10 minutes or so, until cooked through and sauce has formed a glaze.
Serve hot, topped with sliced green onions.

Notes

17 grams of carbs per serving come from the allulose (sugar alcohols). Add that to the gram of fiber, and you've got 18 grams of deductible carbs - or 8 grams of net carbs per serving.

This is assuming you use all of the sauce, btw - it does make more than will actually stick to the 4 lbs of wings.
