Honey Mustard Chicken Wings with North Carolina BBQ Rub
Honey mustard sauce has been a backyard favorite for decades, but when you layer it with Carolina-inspired seasoning, it turns into something even more memorable. The foundation here is Revolution Barbecue North Carolina BBQ Rub, which brings out bold mustard, aromatic celery seed, and the deep sweetness of molasses. That profile is a natural partner for the tangy Dijon and honey glaze, tying the entire dish together with flavors that are unmistakably Carolina.
Cooking these wings on the Traeger Ironwood 885 at 400 degrees keeps the skin crisp and the meat juicy, while apple or cherry wood adds a mellow fruit smoke that complements the sauce rather than overpowering it. The result is a plate of wings that shine with sticky glaze, rich aroma, and balanced flavor. Sweet, tangy, smoky, and a little earthy—this is honey mustard the way it was meant to taste, with a nod to Carolina tradition.
