2
20 oz cans of beer, any kind

1-1/3 cup Traeger BBQ Sauce
1 16 oz jar Traeger Chicken Rub
In a

of chicken with Traeger Chicken Rub. Divide and pour liquid mixture into 2
(20) oz empty beer cans. Place one chicken right side up over each beer
can. Start your Traeger and switch to “High” for 10 minutes, and then
switch to “Medium”. Place chickens and beer cans top side up on grill.
Cook on medium approximately 1 to 1 ½ hours. Carefully remove chickens and
cans from grill, discard beer cans (use hot mitts). Cut up chicken and
serve. Serves 8-10 people.

Lemon Pepper Chicken
1
fresh cut up fryer chicken
3 tablespoons lemon pepper
1 16 oz jar Traeger Chicken Rub
Wash
chicken in cold water and towel dry. Put Traeger Chicken Rub and lemon
pepper into a bowl and combine both ingredients. With wet hands, dip your
fingers into the dry rub mixture and lightly wipe down the outside of the
chicken. Let chicken set in refrigerator for 1 hour. Start your Traeger
and switch to “High”. Lay chicken out on grill and cook for 20 minutes,
turn once and cook for 20 minutes or until done. Serves 4 people.

Honey Mustard and Bourbon Wings
4-6
lbs fresh or frozen chicken wings, trim off tips
¼ cup bourbon or whiskey
4 tablespoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon yellow or brown mustard seeds, crushed
½ cup honey
In

mixture is well blended. Rinse chicken wings in cold water and towel pat
dry. Arrange wings in a shallow baking pan and moderately paint each wing
with the mixture. Reserve some of the mixture for grilling. Start your
Traeger and switch to “Medium”. Spray grill with cooking spray and
transfer wings from baking dish to grill. Leave room between wings for
best result. Cook on medium approximately 20-30 minutes. Lightly brush
mixture over wings. Be careful not to scorch wings. After 30 minutes, turn
