Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon chicken rub
  • ¼ cup sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

Quick Cooking Chicken Wings

  • Set your Traeger 375˚F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
  • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Season the wings on all sides.
  • Once the Traeger has reached 375, lay the wings directly on the grill grates and cook for 15-20 minutes with the lid closed. Flip the wings after the 15-20 minute and continue cooking for an additional 15-20 minutes.
  • While the wings cook, prepare your favorite sauce and combine with melted butter. Set these aside so they're ready when your wings are done cooking.
  • After 35-40 minutes of cooking or when the wings reach an internal temperature of 190-200˚F remove them from the Traeger directly to the bowl with your sauce. Stir the wings so they are all evenly coated with sauce and serve as desired.

Smoked Chicken Wings

  • Set your Traeger to 225-250˚F and preheat with the lid closed for 10-15 minutes.
  • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and season on all sides.
  • Once the Traeger has reached the smoking temperature, lay the wings directly on the grill grates and cook with the lid closed for 45-60 minutes.
  • After the 45-60 minute mark, increase the grill temperature to 375˚F and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the chicken skin has reached your desired texture.
  • Remove the wings from the grill and toss in your favorite or second favorite wing sauce.
