The Big Game is just around the corner, and I know you are all getting excited for whatever gathering you are planning on hosting or attending!

If there is any appetizer or snack that I absolutely adore having come game time, it’s chicken wings.

They are tasty, hearty, and go with so many different flavors so they can fit anyone’s flavor preference.

I don’t think any game watching session should ever go without them, and you’ll 100% agree with me once you get your taste buds on these bad boys.

One of the biggest questions I get about chicken wings is… do I break them down myself, or do I buy them already broken down?

I have done it both ways, but lately, I’ve been turning to The Butcher Shop at Sprouts so I can get them already broken down into wings and drummettes. Honestly, the time is takes to break down the wings isn’t really worth it, and it doesn’t make a difference to buy them prepped already.

The best part is, when you buy chicken wings from Sprouts, you know you are getting the highest quality product. Their chicken wings are always fresh, never frozen, all natural, and cage-free. The chickens are actually hatched, raised, and harvested in the U.S. with no added hormones, steroids, or artificial ingredients. That way you can be sure you are getting a product that you can have confidence in when you devour it, and especially when you serve it to your friends and family.

It’s the double-dose of cajun seasoning that makes these wings pack an epic punch of touchdown flavor.

First, you make a homemade cajun seasoning for a dry rub that the wings sit in the night before you plan to cook them. This helps the wings absorb those hearty spice notes.

Throw them on the grill on game day, and in the last minutes of cooking, you add a spicy sweet sauce to the mix.

This makes the wings sticky, spicy, and sweet in all the best ways!

Trust me when I say these wings will be gobbled up in about 5 minutes flat. So if you are having a party, be sure to make a double batch. If you want to serve two different kinds of wings, check out my dry rub wings!

This Recipe’s Must-Haves

To get your wings prepped before grilling, I use this USA Pan Bakeware Extra Large Sheet Baking Pan and Bakeable Nonstick Cooling Rack Set. It fits perfectly in the bottom shelf of my fridge.

I lalalalala-looooooove this Traeger Lil Tex Elite 34 Pellet Grill. It’s PERFECT for grilling, smoking, baking, and more. Seriously, once you go Traeger, you just don’t go back. I used Traeger Hickory 100% All-Natural Hardwood Grill Pellets, but you can honestly use any of their pellet chip flavors!

To slather the sauce on the wings, you’ll need this Traeger Silicone Basting Brush. It’s long so you won’t risk burning yourself, as well as being way easier to clean that non-silicone brushes.

Another grilling tool I adore are these Traeger 18″ BBQ Grill Tongs. Again, they are long enough so you don’t have to worry about burning yourself, plus they have excellent grip strength.
