<h4 class="recipe-ingredients__title">Ingredients</h4>
<ul class="recipe-ingredients__list">
<li> For the wings:</li>
<li>4 Lbs. Chicken Wings</li>
<li> Traeger Cajun Shake seasoning</li>
<li> For the brine:</li>
<li>1 Large Can Beer</li>
<li>2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes</li>
<li> For the sauce:</li>
<li>1 Lb. Fresh Serrano Chili Peppers</li>
<li>4 Cloves Garlic</li>
<li>1 tsp. Fresh Oregano</li>
<li>1 tsp Fresh Basil</li>
<li>1/2 tsp. Celery Salt</li>
<li>1/4 tsp. Black Pepper, Freshly Cracked</li>
<li>1 cup Distilled White Vinegar</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="block-title"><span>Directions</span></h2>
<li>Place the wings in a large bowl, and cover with beer and red pepper flakes. Refrigerate for 12-24 hours before grilling.</li>
<li>Remove wings from brine, and pat dry. Trim the wings down into flats and drummettes. Discard the wing tips. Season liberally with Traeger's Cajun Shake.</li>
<li>When ready to cook, start the Traeger on smoke with the lid open until a fire is established (4-5 minutes). Turn temperature to 325° and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.</li>
<li>Place the wings and the serrano peppers directly on the grill grate. After 10 minutes, flip the peppers, and grill for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the skin is roasted and the peppers have softened. Remove the peppers from the grill, and flip chicken wings. Allow wings to cook for an additional 20-25 minutes while you make the hot sauce.</li>
<li>Cut the stems off of the chili peppers, discard, and put peppers into a food processor with garlic, oregano, basil, celery, salt, and black pepper. Turn on the food processor, and slowly pour in the vinegar until the entire mixture is processed and smooth.</li>
<li>Pour approximately 1/2 cup of the sauce into a bowl, and take out to grill; dunk each wing in sauce, and return to grill for a final 5 minutes. Enjoy.</li>
