There are so many different things you can do with a Traeger Grilled Chicken. This is the first thing we made, and it definitely won’t be the last. This easy grilled chicken recipe comes off the grill perfectly tender and juicy.
Traeger Barbecue Chicken Sandwich
Get ready for all the grilling and bbq recipes, you guys, because we are a little obsessed. We’ve always been fans of grilling out, but now that we’ve got a wood pellet grill it is like GAME ON here. Any excuse to fire that thing up, and we’re on the deck and pulling out the meat.
One of our favorite things is grilling whole chicken. Traeger Grilled Chickens don’t get used for just fall-off-the-bone tender main courses. There are so many easy, delicious meals you can make this better-than-rotisserie-chicken, I usually suggest making two chickens at once, so you can use the leftovers to make dinner several nights this week.
