Steps

  • 1

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 350℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. Line a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick foil or parchment paper.

    350 ˚F / 177 ˚C

  • 2

    Segment the wings into three pieces, cutting through the joints. Discard the wing tips or save to make chicken stock. Season the flats and drumettes well with Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub, then arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly.

  • 3

    Place the baking sheet with wings on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook until the wings are no longer pink at the bone, 45-50 minutes.

    Meanwhile, make the sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add the honey and hot sauce and cook until completely combined, 2-3 minutes more. Remove the pot from the heat and cover to keep the sauce warm until the wings finish cooking.

  • 5

    Transfer the wings to a large bowl. Pour the spicy honey garlic sauce over the wings, turning with tongs to coat.

  • 6

    Return the wings to the grill, arranging directly on the grates. Close the lid and and cook until the sauce sets, 10-15 minutes.
