Crack open the wood fired flavor with the king of all crab recipes. Fresh crab legs are smoked directly on the grill and drenched in a homemade BBQ and butter sauce for a smokin’ take on this seafood favorite.

INGREDIENTS

4 WHOLE CRAB LEGS

1/2 CUP TRAEGER TEXAS SPICY BBQ SAUCE

1 TBSP FIN AND FEATHER RUB

4 TBSP BUTTER, MELTED

SALT AND PEPPER, TO TASTE

PREPARATION

When ready to cook, set the temperature to 250℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.

Place the crab legs directly on the grill grate and smoke for 20 minutes.

While the crab is smoking, made the sauce. In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, BBQ sauce, salt, pepper and Fin & Feather Rub.

After 20 minutes of cooking, brush the crab legs with the BBQ sauce mixture. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes reserving the remaining sauce to serve.

Remove crab legs from the grill, serve with melted butter and BBQ sauce mixture. Enjoy!
