Method:

1. Blend all ingredients for the jerk rub.
2. In a bowl, coat the wings with the oil. Mix in the jerk seasoning to coat the wings fully and mix in the salt. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 400°F.
4. Lay out marinated wings on a wire rack placed over a foiled bake sheet. If you don’t have a wire rack, place wings on a non-stick bake sheet or foiled bake sheet topped with parchment paper so they don’t stick to the foil.
5. Roast the wings in the oven for 30 minutes.
6. 15 minutes after placing the wings in the oven, turn on the gas grill to heat up.
7. Remove the wings from the oven and place on the grill over indirect heat to add some char and smoky flavor.
8. Transfer grilled wings to a clean bowl, drizzle in the BACARDÍ Spiced Hot Honey and toss to coat. Lay out coated wings onto a platter and top with sliced scallions.
