Winston's Kitchen

"The jerk chicken wings at Winston’s, a Jamaican trailer in South Austin, have quickly made their way into our monthly rotation. They’re smoky and tender inside with bits of char on the skin. These wings are a little more focused on flavor and tenderness than ultra-crispy skin, but when they’re coated in an intense layer of spicy jerk seasoning like this, that’s a compromise we’re willing to make. They’re also priced by the wing, so you can make a full meal out of them, or just order a couple to accompany your oxtails.   " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

"Winston’s Kitchen is a Jamaican trailer near Brodie and Slaughter Lane and, outside of a visit to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, it’s one of our favorite reasons to make a visit to southwest Austin. And if you happen to live in the area, you probably already know all about Winston’s, especially when it comes to the jerk chicken, some of our favorite in town. The meat is smoky and tender, with little bits of char on the skin. Generously seasoned with jerk spices, the chicken definitely pack some heat. Even if you end up getting something else—like oxtails, red snapper, or beef brisket—the jerk wings are priced individually, so you can throw a couple on for a nice savory side. photo credit: Richard Casteel" - Nicolai McCrary
