Labour day wings

Started out with dry rub only, but decided to sauce it last minute. Visited Traegergrills.com and picked this recipe in a hurry, used it for sauce only.  If I may say so, it's my best wings to date.

While getting ready to post this I remember someone posted about sriracha wings a while back, did a quick search and found @DMW 's best wings post. https://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1204514/best-wings-ive-ever-made/p1 Coincidentally the wet ingredients in his sauce is more or less identical to what's in the Traeger recipe.  The result is simply awesome!  Carmelised, sweet, salty, sour, heat ... like a flavour bomb!  It's definitely in my regular rotation now, will also try adding rice vinegar and fish sauce.

It's OT because I cooked it in the Traeger.  IMO Traeger is a chicken machine, almost totally hands off, I was able to cook two other dishes that needed more attention while the wings were cooking.

Managed to get one picture only...


Have a great short week everyone!

Nicely done there
Been way too long since I've made these, going to the freezer now to get some out to thaw for Thursday's NFL opener.

@DMW Thanks.  Looking at you list of toys, it appears you're missing a pellet grill my friend.  You could be watching the game with your buddies and have the wings ready for half time, with minimal time spent at the grill, just saying

Yeah, another cooker will get me divorced... My Small BGE will be just fine for Thursday.
