Cajun Wings: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe for Everyone
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for heat preference)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings with paper towels. Place them in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
- Drizzle olive oil over the wings. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the wings, tossing to coat them thoroughly.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place the marinated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through for even cooking. Cook until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
- Once done, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
