SWEET AND SPICY SRIRACHA WINGS

 

INGREDIENTS

Rub:

1 Tbsp. Sesame Oil

2 Tbsp. Traeger Chicken Rub

2 tsp. Garlic Powder

2 lbs. Chicken Wings (thawed)

Sauce:

5 Tbsp. Melted Butter

1/3 cup Dark Brown Sugar

1/4 cup Siracha

2 Tbsp. Soy Sauce

2 Tbsp. Lime Zest

1 Tbsp. crushed Garlic

1 Tbsp. crushed Ginger

1 Tbsp. chopped Cilantro

1 Tbsp. toasted Sesame Seeds

Juice from 2 limes

METHOD

• When ready to cook, start the Traeger on smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes).
• Set the temperature to 325 degrees and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Combine all the ingredients for the rub. Evenly coat the wings in the rub mixture and place the wings directly on the grill. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
• While the wings are cooking, combine all the ingredients for the sauce except the cilantro and the sesame seeds. Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the grill, turn the Traeger up to HIGH (450 degrees),toss the cooked wings in half of the sauce mixture (just enough to coat them), and place them back on the grill for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized.
• Top with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.
