Deliciously crispy chicken wings on the Traeger or any pellet grill! Smoked to perfection with a blend of easy seasonings and then cooked up nice and crispy at the end. Throw on some buffalo sauce and dig in.
1tbspghee, melted(can sub butter or use avocado oil for dairy free)
1tsplemon juice
1/2tspsmoked paprika
1/4tsp garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your Traeger or pellet grill to 225° Fahrenheit.
Add the seasonings to a small bowl and mix. Drizzle the wings with avocado oil and toss to coat. Dump the seasoning mix all over the wings and toss to coat as evenly as possible.
Place wings on the grill to smoke for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, turn the heat up to 450°. Flip the wings and cook for another 25-30 minutes, flipping every 5-6 minutes until fully cooked. Flipping helps to cook evenly and prevent burning. Note: Watch the wings closely after turning the heat up and move them away from any flames to prevent burning or a grease fire. This typically isn't an issue with Traeger grills but it can happen. The wings are cooked through when they reach at least an internal temperature of 165° Fahrenheit. However, I prefer wings that are cooked to between 180°-190° and are crispy on the outsides.
While the wings are cooking, mix up the buffalo sauce if desired. After the wings are finished, toss them with the buffalo sauce to coat or serve it on the side for dipping.
