Traeger Smoked Spicy Chicken Wings with Hott Brands Hott Sauce

**Ingredients:**

- 2 lbs chicken wings

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- Salt and pepper to taste

- 1/2 cup Hott Brands Hott Sauce

- 2 tablespoons melted butter

- 1 tablespoon honey

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1 teaspoon onion powder

- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

**Instructions:**

1. **Preheat the Traeger:**

   - Preheat your Traeger grill to 350°F. Load it with your preferred wood pellets (hickory or mesquite work great for wings).

2. **Prepare the Chicken Wings:**

   - Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they get crispy. 

   - Place the wings in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

3. **Smoke the Wings:**

   - Arrange the wings in a single layer on the grill grates. Smoke the wings at 350°F for 1 hour.

4. **Increase Temperature for Crispy Skin:**

   - After the wings have smoked for an hour, increase the grill temperature to 450°F. Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through the cooking time.

5. **Prepare the Hott Sauce Mixture:**

   - In a small saucepan over low heat, combine Hott Brands Hott Sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir until well mixed and heated through.

6. **Coat the Wings:**

   - Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. 

   - Transfer the wings to a large bowl and pour the Hott Sauce mixture over them. Toss the wings until they are fully coated in the sauce.

7. **Serve:**

   - Arrange the wings on a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

   - Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and celery sticks on the side.
