Key Lime Slab Pie
Get ready to impress with this crowd-pleasing slab pie that takes key lime pie to a whole new level. To keep things simple, we’re using pre-made sugar cookie dough for the crust and giving it a tropical coconut twist. No key limes? No problem—just grab some top-shelf key lime juice from the store. Note: For a smooth and creamy filling, skip the zest or toss in 1 to 2 tablespoons if you prefer a speckled finish.
Griddled Street Corn Fritters
All the delicious flavors of your favorite Mexican snack—packed into crispy, sharable corn fritters. Our grilled street corn fritters are easy to make and come out golden brown over medium heat on the griddle. Finish them off by topping with more cotija cheese, Tajin, and chopped cilantro, or let your guests customize them with their own favorites.
Grilled Huli Huli Chicken Thighs
Juicy, smoky, and dripping with sweet and savory Hawaiian flavor, this Huli Huli chicken is made for the Traeger. Marinated in a mix of soy sauce, and pineapple juice, it caramelizes to perfection on the grill. Serve up this grilled chicken island-style with grilled pineapple spears and your favorite sides.
Easy Jalapeno Popper Dip
All the jalapeño popper flavors you love—transformed into an ultra-rich and creamy queso-style dip. Our jalapeño popper dip features four kinds of cheese, spicy sliced jalapeños, and crispy bacon, finished off with a buttery crushed Ritz cracker topping. It’s the perfect game-day appetizer, so dip in with tortilla chips, crackers, or baguette slices—but hurry, it won’t last long.
Chicken Lollipops
It's hard not to love chicken lollipops. They not only look fun but are easier to eat than conventional drumsticks. Once you learn how to shape them, you can try flavoring them different ways as would would chicken wings. We like the heat the hot sauce adds to traditional BBQ flavor, but you can lessen the amount or leave it out altogether.
Smoked Chicken Cobb Salad with Bacon Vinaigrette
Our Smoked Chicken Cobb Salad brings all the classic flavors to the grill. It features tender, smoked chicken, crispy bacon, and rich avocado, all topped with a savory bacon vinaigrette. This salad is the perfect balance of smoky and savory, with fresh ingredients in every bite.
Smoke Fried Blooming Onion
Crispy, smoky, and downright bloomin’ delicious, this Smoke Fried Blooming Onion is the ultimate upgrade to a steakhouse classic. Smoked low and slow on a Traeger for deep, wood-fired flavor, then flash-fried to golden perfection, every petal is packed with irresistible crunch and spice. Dip it in a zesty sauce, and you’ve got an appetizer that’s smokin’ hot in all the right ways!
Sheet Pan Hasselback Kielbasa & Potatoes
We’re taking the popular potato technique and applying it to savory kielbasa for an easy sheet pan dinner that’s guaranteed to impress. Our Hasselback kielbasa recipe both amps up the flavor by exposing more surface area to soak up the honey-mustard glaze and maximizes the crispy factor
Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
Pulled chicken (also called shredded chicken) is as versatile as pulled pork, maybe even more so. Toss some with your favorite Traeger BBQ sauce and serve it with slaw for a classic sandwich. Or use it to make chicken tacos, chili, nachos, burritos, and more. A stand mixer make the shredding quick and easy.

Flatrock Griddle Recipes
Braised Chicken Tacos with Cracklins
Inspired by birria tacos, these braised chicken tacos get dipped in a spicy enchilada sauce before a turn on the griddle. Crisped chicken skin (aka cracklins) adds welcome crunch to the filling. Serve these up with some rice, beans, and Mexican beer for the full cantina experience at home.
Flat Top Stuffed French Toast
Chef JRob describes his sweet brunch dish as a cross between French toast and cheesecake. Yet the cream cheese and blueberry filling could not be easier to make, and the large surface area of the flat top lets you cook all the brioche at once so everyone can eat at the same time.
Flat Top Porcini-Dusted Smashed Burger
We’re taking the classic smashed burger up a notch with porcini powder and a special sauce. The dried mushroom powder, sometimes called dust, gives the meat an even deeper savory flavor. If your supermarket carries dried porcinis but not powder, simply grind the whole dried mushrooms in a spice grinder. Spreading a little mayo on the buns before toasting them makes them nicely browned and crisped.
Flat Top Cinnamon-Sugar Crepe Cake
Diva Q makes this fantastical, many-layered cake for her kids, who request it often for breakfast (and just about any other time of day). Once you try it, you will know why. For best results, let the crepe batter rest for at least a couple of hours but preferably overnight.
Flat Top Spicy Chicken Fajitas
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are a great choice for cooking on the griddle. As convenient and quick cooking as chicken breast, they have a deeper flavor and are more forgiving so they’re almost guaranteed to stay juicy after cooking. We like the heat the jalapeño ribs provide. If that’s not your thing, cut the seeds ribs out of the slices. Depending on how filled you like your fajitas, you may have extra vegetables; if so, save them to use in omelets or on pizza.
