Make Jamaican green seasoning by blending garlic, small onions, Scotch bonnet pepper, scallions, ginger, salt, black pepper, fresh thyme, pimento, vegetable oil, and vinegar until roughly pureed.

Marinate chicken wings and legs with salt, black pepper, spices to the bone seasoning, and 1 cup of green seasoning. Let it rest in the fridge for 45 minutes to a few hours.

Prepare the barbecue sauce by dicing overripe pineapple, onion, ginger, garlic, thyme, and Scotch bonnet pepper.

Heat a saucepan, add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and caramelize until brown.

Add the diced ingredients to the caramelized sugar and sauté until the pineapple starts to caramelize.

Add 1 cup of tomato ketchup and 1 cup of water to the saucepan and mix. Cook for 10-15 minutes until thickened, then strain to remove solids.

Prepare the dredge by mixing 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.

Dredge the marinated chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring a thick coat. Let it rest.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium heat for deep frying.

Infuse the oil with garlic, Scotch bonnet pepper, and thyme before adding the chicken.

Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil, cooking for about 8 minutes until golden brown.
