ingredients
- 2 1/2 lbs chicken wings and drumsticks
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp Traeger Fin and Feather Rub
- 2/3 cup beer I used a ginger golden ale but you can use a pale ale, lager, or light IPA
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp Frank's Red Hot Sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp rice wine vinegar
- Traeger Wood Pellets I prefer Cherry for this particular recipe, but any will work!
- 2 cups BBQ sauce I used Traeger's Sweet & Tangy Apricot Sauce
- Garnish: freshly chopped parsley
instructions
- Rinse chicken wings in cold water and dry well with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, stir together cornstarch and Traeger Fin and Feather Rub. Add wings to the bowl and toss to coat.
- In a separate bowl, stir together beer, soy sauce, honey, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, Frank's Red Hot Sauce, salt and rice wine vinegar. Add cornstarch herb coated wings to the marinade.
- Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Heat up grill.
- Grill wings skin side up for 20 minutes, covered and over indirect heat.
- Brush wings with BBQ sauce (I used Traeger's Sweet & Tangy Apricot Sauce). Grill for an additional 5 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Add the remaining BBQ sauce to a large bowl and toss the wings in the sauce.
- Add wings to a serving bowl or platter and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
