Ingredients

  • 2  tbsp  coconut sugar
  • 1  tbsp  onion powder
  • 1  tbsp  garlic powder
  • 1  tbsp  paprika
  • 2  tsp  kosher salt
  • 1  tsp  cayenne pepper
  • 4 pounds free-range  organic split, chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce of choice – I used Cholula original
  • 1 recipe Alabama White BBQ Sauce

Instructions

  • Run the start-up cycle on your Traeger and preheat the grill to 165F.
  • In a bowl, combine the coconut sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt and cayenne pepper. Stir until combined and set aside.
  • Pat the wings dry with paper towel and add them to a large bowl. Pour in the hot sauce and toss the wings to coat. Lay the wings out in a single layer on a large sheet pan. Liberally and evenly season both sides of the chicken wings. If there is leftover spice rub, place in a sealable jar and store at room temperature for up to 30 days.
  • Transfer the wings directly onto the preheated grill. Close the lid and smoke at 225F for 30 min.
  • Raise the heat to 425F and cook the wings until deeply browned and crispy, or until 175F internally.
  • Transfer the smoked chicken wings to a serving platter and serve with the Alabama White BBQ sauce.
