Ingredients
Method
- 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.
- Prepare the chicken wings by patting them dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture is key to making them crispy.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
- 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.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. These wings are perfect on their own or with a side of classic Southern coleslaw.
