Spicy Honey-Garlic Wings

On a rainy day in May, we tried a new recipe in the Traeger grill.
And yep they were finger lickin' good.
Spicy Honey-Garlic Wings
2 1/2 pounds large chicken wings (I used some legs)
Traeger Pork and Poultry Shake or your favorite barbecue rub
4T butter
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot sauce
1/4 cup honey, or more to taste
1-1/2 cups blue cheese or ranch dressing.

1. Cut the wings into three pieces through the joints. Discard the wing tips. Transfer the remaining "drumettes" and "flats"to a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil, and arrange them in a single layer. Season well with the Traeger Pork and Poultry Shake.
2. Make the spicy honey-garlic sauce. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add the garlic and saute or 2 to 3 minutes until it softens (do not let it color). Stir in the hot sauce and honey and cook for several minutes to blend the flavors. Keep warm.
3. When read to cook, preheat oven or grill to 350 degrees.
4. Put the baking sheets with the wings into the over or on the grill grate. Cook for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone. Pour enough spicy honey-garlic sauce over the wings to coat them on both sides, turning with tongs. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes more to set the sauce. Serve with the blue cheese or ranch dressing. ENJOY!
