Traeger Grill Chicken Wings

[xN1kolaix]

Thanks for the video Dave! I'm a Weber Smokey Mountain user and am thinking of switching to a Traeger this summer. Is the model you own a "Lil Tex" or a "Junior"? It looks like it has a nice sized cooking area. Thanks!

@xN1kolaix Thx for your kind comment. I have a Lil Tex but I am thinking about selling it and getting a Texan. The extra width will be enough for me to do a 25-30lb whole pig. Or I may get the Caja China for pigs only. I rented a Caja China and did a pig for my Super Bowl party. Turned out great. Good luck. Dave

@xN1kolaix Its a little Tex. Should have got the Tex.  Dont make the same mistake

Would you recommend a traeger for a first time "smoker" and did you have to turn the wings at all during cooking? The more I see about the Traeger's/ pellet grills the more I'm liking them, is there a better brand/ highest quality? I dislike buying things twice. Wish I was eating those wings, every time I view I get hungry.

Awsome vid - fun to watch! Just got a Traeger today and was watching while mine is seasoning. I'll have to watch your other vids as well, thanks!

Dave,

Just got my Traeger last night. Put it together and seasoned it and did some chicken breast tonight. Preheated on high for 15 minutes, 5 minutes on each side, then turned down to smoke for 10 minutes. They were perfect!

Good on you man!

How long did this take total? Your video at the 1:03 mark says its 6:30, then at the 2:00 mark says it's 10 after 6. I just ordered a Traeger that should be here tomorrow!!

Takes about 1.5hrs total. The wings turn out perfect. My next video will be pizza from scratch. I even make the dough. Fantastic. The Traeger cooks pizza great. Thx for your interest. Dave

Dave,

Thanks for the reply! 1.5 sounds great. Glad to hear about the pizza as I want to do one as well!

hey I love to cook on the grill...usually my wing are to soft from slow cooking them...I did use flour wich firmed them up some.... any ideas i would like to hear them....thanks the wings looked delicious...

Thx for your comments. I think that cooking for 15-30min. at 450 makes a big difference. Then switch to 300 for an hour or so. Then put on your sauce at smoke or 225 until done. Give that a try.
