Ingredients
4 Pound chicken wings
1 Can beer
2 Teaspoon red pepper flakes
As Needed Traeger Cajun Shake
1 Pound serrano chile peppers
4 Clove garlic
1 Teaspoon fresh oregano
1 Teaspoon Basil, fresh
1/2 Teaspoon celery salt
1/4 Teaspoon black pepper
1 Cup distilled white vinegar
Steps
1
Place the wings in a large bowl and cover with beer and red pepper flakes. Refrigerate for 12-24 hours before grilling.2
Remove wings from brine and pat dry. Trim the wings down into flats and drumettes. Discard the wing tips. Season liberally with Traeger Cajun Shake.3
When ready to cook, set the Traeger to 325℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.4
Place the wings and the serrano peppers directly on the grill grate. After 10 minutes, flip the peppers and grill for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the skin is roasted and the peppers have softened. Remove the peppers from the grill and flip chicken wings. Allow wings to cook for an additional 20-25 minutes while you make the hot sauce.5
Cut the stems off of the chili peppers, discard, and put peppers into a food processor with garlic, oregano, basil, celery salt, and black pepper. Turn on the food processor and slowly pour in the vinegar until the entire mixture is processed and smooth.6
Pour approximately 1/2 cup of the sauce into a bowl and take out to grill; dunk each wing in sauce and return to grill for a final 5 minutes. Enjoy!
