Roasted Sweet Thai Chili Wings

Steps

• 1

  Make the Thai chili sauce: Add the sugar, vinegar, water, fish sauce, sherry, garlic, and crushed Thai chiles to a small saucepan and whisk to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the cornstarch slurry, and stir until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and cover to keep warm until ready to use.

  Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Sugar

  • 1/2 Cup rice vinegar

  • 1/4 Cup water

  • 3 Tablespoon fish sauce

  • 2 Tablespoon cooking sherry

  • 4 Clove garlic, minced

  • 1/2 Tablespoon crushed dried Thai chiles, plus more to taste

  • 1 1/2 Tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in 4 Tbsp water

• 2

  When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 450℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. (Cooking the wings at a high temperature will make them crispier than wings cooked at a lower temperature, which can lead to rubbery skin.)
