Clean the chicken wings with white distilled vinegar, sour orange juice, and cut limes, rinsing them 2-3 times.

Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.

Add 2 tablespoons of jerk seasoning and jerk marinade to the chicken.

Add 1 tablespoon of chicken flavor bouillon, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the chicken.

Mix the chicken well to ensure it is evenly coated with the seasoning.

Let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes to an hour if time allows.

Rub butter on the bottom of an oven-safe container to prevent sticking.

Place the marinated chicken in the container, ensuring no sauce is left behind.

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over the chicken.

Bake the chicken in the oven at 400°F for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Prepare the sauce by melting 2 tablespoons of butter and mixing it with the leftover sauce from the chicken.

Add ½ cup of sweet chili sauce, red pepper flakes, fresh parsley, and minced red bell pepper to the sauce mixture.

Coat the baked chicken with the sweet chili sauce mixture.

Return the chicken to the oven on the top rack at 400°F for an additional 30 minutes.
