Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds of chicken wings split at the joint
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • ½ teaspoon of black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper optional, for extra heat
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This setup will help the wings get crispy all around.
  2. Prepare the chicken wings by patting them dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture is key to making them crispy.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the vegetable oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix until you have a smooth paste.
  4. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them well until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture. Make sure each wing gets a generous rub of those Louisiana flavors.
  5. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. This will ensure that they cook evenly and get that perfect oven-fried texture.
  6. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping the wings tender on the inside.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. These wings are perfect on their own or with a side of classic Southern coleslaw.
