1/2 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup rice vinegar
1/4 Cup water
3 Tablespoon fish sauce
2 Tablespoon cooking sherry
4 Clove garlic, minced

Steps

  • 1

    Make the Thai chili sauce: Add the sugar, vinegar, water, fish sauce, sherry, garlic, and crushed Thai chiles to a small saucepan and whisk to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the cornstarch slurry, and stir until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and cover to keep warm until ready to use.

  • 2

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 450℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. (Cooking the wings at a high temperature will make them crispier than wings cooked at a lower temperature, which can lead to rubbery skin.)

    Pat the wings dry. Season on all sides with Meat Church Holy Gospel BBQ Rub.

  • 4

    Place wings directly on the grill grates. Insert the probe into the center of a wing, avoiding the bone. Close the lid and cook, flipping the wings once, until the internal temperature reaches 165-180°F, about 20 minutes.

    Transfer the wings to a large bowl and toss with the Thai chili sauce. Return the wings to the grill, close the lid, and cook until the sauce sets, about 5 minutes.
