Traeger Grills Texas Apricot BBQ Sauce Wings

I’m convinced that more wing restaurants should serve BBQ-sauced wings. And not just traditional ones like ‘smoky’ or ‘spicy’ or ‘Texas’ or ‘sweet’. Put something like Traeger Grills Texas Apricot BBQ sauce wings on the menu. We all want great flavor. Tremendous flavor. And this is it. Slightly fruity. A little bit of heat. Not much. And a hint of smoke. This is a great BBQ sauce. It’s even better on wings!

Thinner Can Be A Winner

This sauce is a bit thin. That worried me at first. But when I made my batch of Traeger Grills Texas Apricot BBQ sauce wings they sauced up just fine. That first bite was great. A ‘mmmmmm’ bite. Good stuff, I thought. Not too sweet. Perfect.

This sauce would be great on a lot of things other than wings. But I am sure it’ll shine on some pork. That’s where I’m headed with it next. A little grilled pork tenderloin brushed with this sauce would be amazing. With a side of wings, of course!

Traeger Grills Sweet And Heat BBQ Sauce Wings

A delicious chicken wing and a good BBQ sauce make for a great combination. A store-bought sauce doesn’t have to say ‘wing sauce’ on the label for me to put it on my wings. Darn near anything will do. Especially when it’s as good as these Traeger Grills Sweet and Heat BBQ sauce wings! Great traditional smoky BBQ sauce flavor in a tomato-based sauce. A hint of heat. And a bit of sweet. The perfect balance. This is one finger-licking good sauce that is perfect on a wing!

Batter Up!

I deep-fried my Traeger Grills Sweet and Heat BBQ sauce wings. Nothing fancy. But I wanted a good, crunchy coating on my wings. Not fried naked. And almost like grandma’s fried chicken. Just not as thick a batter. That crunchy outside was perfect for the sauce. It hid in the nooks and crannies. With every bite I was guaranteed to get sweet heat deliciousness. That’s what I was after. That’s what I got!

You can, of course, cook your wings any way you like! Just get them good and coated in the sauce before serving!
