Their wording wasn’t the best but they’re saying:
-start traeger with lid open for 5 min until fire is going
-close lid and preheat for 15

Why are you preheating the traeger with the lid open??? All that is doing is allowing heat and smoke to escape into the air. And 350 is above the temperature threshold for what I’d consider smoking…. thats grilling. That being said your spice rub sounds appealing and the pictures look good.

Just so you know… This has become a staple on the Traeger week in and week out. The absolute best tasting chicken – quick smoke, but tons of flavor, and the family loves it! Any more Traeger smokes for a weekday meal? I would love it.

Thanks again from NC. – Great job

I made this last night on our Traeger — my first time every cooking on one! I am commenting because I read the reviews here and have some feedback as well. First, the chicken was phenomenal. I cannot say that enough — tangy, sweet, spicy and most importantly, the chicken was incredibly juicy and soft. It was such a welcome change from a winter of dry oven chicken or air fryer repeat recipes. Second, to the other reviewers’ points, I will say that I only used 1 tablespoon of salt in fear of over-salting and that was enough. Next, I used two large chicken breasts and the cook time was definitely longer — I flipped after 13 minutes and after the next 12, I probably had to let them cook for another 15. Just an FYI. Regardless, we will definitely make this again and it was a great recipe to get my feet wet with!

In reply to J. Sorry for the disappointment! Were you using the Traeger in cooler weather? Sometimes that can extend the cooking time. The salt can always be adjusted to taste. Regardless, we appreciate the feedback and apologize for the frustration. We haven't ever had an issue with it taking longer.

Took twice as long on the trager as the recipe says and it was way too salty.
