Traeger Crispy Smoked Chicken Wings
You’ve come to the best place for Traeger wings! I’ve been at this recipe thing for a decade now, and wings are one of those dishes I’ll always stand by. You season them well, let the grill do its thing, and you end up with a plate of wings that’ll disappear before you even sit down.

Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken wings I used split party wings. You can use whole wings if preferred.
- olive oil
Homemade Dry Rub Rub (Feel free to use a store-bought rub if you wish)
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar or sweetener
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to 225 degrees.
- Pat the chicken wings dry. Sprinkle the dry rub throughout.
- Coat the grill grates on the smoker in olive oil using a cooking brush or towels to prevent sticking.
- Place the wings on the smoker. Smoke for 2 hours.
- I like for my wings to have a little char and I like them crispy. After 2 hours, adjust the temperature to 350 degrees. Cook for an additional 15-30 minutes until crisp. Flip halfway through.If you like sauced wings you can add the sauce during this step.
- Remove the wings. Cool before serving.
Notes
- Feel free to use your favorite BBQ rub or seasoning. Use 2 tablespoons or enough to fully coat the wings.
- Marinating is optional.
- Whole chicken wings (as opposed to split party wings) will take an hour or longer to smoke. Be sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
