AWESOME CAJUN CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Rinse chicken and pat dry.

• Process until well blended.
• With machine on, slowly pour in oil and process until a thick paste forms.
• In a large bowl, combine wings and paste.
• Toss until wings are well coated.
• Cover and refrigerate over night.
• Broil or grill wings until nicely browned outside and cooked through.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

CAJUN CHICKEN WINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the Cajun seasoning and brown sugar and stir to combine.
• Rub the seasoning over the wings, covering both sides completely.
• Place the seasoned wings into the air fryer basket, keeping them in a single layer and not overlapping them.
• Cook at 400 degrees F. for 25 minutes - opening the air fryer every 10 minutes to turn the wings.
• While the wings are cooking, prepare the cajun ranch dressing. In a small bowl, add the ranch dressing and 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning - stir to combine.
• When the wings are finished cooking, remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with the Cajun ranch dressing.

CAJUN CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large shallow dish, mix the oil, Cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and lemon pepper. Place the chicken in the dish, and turn to coat with the mixture. Cover, and refrigerate for 1/2 hour.
• Preheat the grill for high heat.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Drain chicken, and discard marinade. Place chicken on hot grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear.

GRILLED CAJUN LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat.
• Toss the chicken wings, vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons of the Cajun seasoning, 3/4 teaspoon of the garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl until evenly combined.
• Brush the grill grates lightly with oil. Place the chicken wings on the grill in an even layer and cover with the lid. Cook, flipping occasionally, until well browned and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir together the parsley, lemon zest and juice, remaining 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in another large bowl until combined.
• Transfer the wings to the bowl with the Cajun lemon pepper seasoning and toss until evenly coated. Arrange on a large serving platter.

CAJUN DRY RUB CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and baking rack over top.
• In a small bowl, combine the dried seasoning; stir.
• Rinse and pat chicken pieces dry. Place the wings in a large bowl and drizzle with oil, tossing each piece so that they all get coated.
• Sprinkle rub over chicken and rub the seasoning into each piece. Arrange wings on the prepared baking sheet. Bake wings for 30 minutes, turn and bake an additional 10-15 minutes.

CAJUN BUTTER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Place the following ingredients into a pestle and mortar: thyme, onion flakes, garlic flakes, celery seed, and salt. Grind the ingredients together until well broken down. Toss in the cayenne pepper, black pepper, and paprika. Grind those three ingredients into the previously ground ingredients until well incorporated.
• Stir the ground ingredients into the butter until well combined. Set aside.
• Heat enough vegetable oil in a skillet to cover the wings. I used a 12" cast iron skillet filled half way up with vegetable oil. Be sure to heat the oil to optimum chicken-frying temperature. Using a cooking thermometer, try to keep the oil between 350-375 degrees.
• Once the oil is ready, fry each wing for 3-4 minutes per side; just until they are golden brown and crispy. You will need to fry the wings in batches. Do not overcrowd the frying pan.
• Remove the fried wings from the oil and place on the parchment lined baking sheet.
• Once all wings have been fried, toss the still hot wings with the butter mixture.
• Using tongs, place each wing on the parchment lined baking sheet. Bake the wings for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, toss the wings once again in the butter mixture, and bake once again for an additional 10 minutes.
• Garnish serve immediately!

CAJUN CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Remove wing tips and excess skin and fat from wings, place in large bowl.
• In saucepan, heat oil over medium heat, cook onion and garlic for 3 minutes or till softened. Stir in chili sauce, honey, vinegar, hot pepper sauce, horseradish, liquid smoke (if using), cayenne, cloves and chili powder. Cook for 5 minutes or till bubbly. Let cool.
• Pour sauce over wings, turning to coat. Cover and marinate in fridge 12 - 24 hours.
• Reserving sauce in a small saucepan, arrange wings in shallow foil lined baking sheet. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring sauce to boil, boil for 1 minute, reserve 3/4 cup for dipping. Brush half of the remaining sauce over wings, continue baking, brushing with remaining sauce halfway through, for another 15 minutes or till no longer pink inside.
• Broil the wings 6 inches from heat for about 4 minutes or till dark golden.
• Serve with reserved sauce.

CAJUN SPICE CHICKEN WINGS WITH REMOULADE SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare spice rub by combining baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, black pepper, oregano, and thyme in a small bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined.
• Place wings in a large bowl and toss in 3 tablespoons spice rub. Toss wings with tongs until thoroughly and evenly coated. Transfer to a baking rack set over a parchment-lined sheet pan. Sprinkle a little more spice rub over each wing and let sit for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Prepare remoulade sauce by crushing capers in a mixing bowl with the back of a fork. Add mayonnaise, Dijon, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, cayenne, paprika, garlic, green onion, parsley, and lemon juice; whisk to combine. Taste and add salt if needed. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
• Bake wings in the center of the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip and continue to bake until beautifully browned, no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Serve with remoulade sauce.
