Rinse chicken wings and pat dry with paper towels. Place wings in a large bowl and sprinkle on rub, tossing to evenly coat.

When ready to cook, start Traeger on Smoke with lid open until fire is established (4-5 minutes). Preheat with lid closed, 10 to 15 minutes.

Smoke wings for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, increase temperature to 350 degrees F and roast for 45 to 50 minutes.

Transfer wings to a large bowl. Add sauce and toss to thoroughly coat wings.

Transfer to a platter and serve immediately with carrot sticks, celery sticks, blue cheese, ranch or desired dipping sauces. Enjoy!
