How to Make Awesome Cajun Chicken Wings

  1. Rinse 2 lbs of chicken wings thoroughly and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  2. In a food processor or blender, combine the following ingredients: 1/4 cup Cajun seasoning, 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference), 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil.
  3. Process until all ingredients are thoroughly blended into a smooth paste.
  4. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the remaining 1/2 cup of vegetable oil until a thick, cohesive paste forms.
  5. In a large bowl, add the 2 lbs of dried chicken wings and pour the Cajun paste over them.
  6. Using tongs or your hands (wear gloves!), toss the wings until they are completely and evenly coated with the paste.
  7. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F). Grill the wings for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are nicely browned on the outside and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Alternatively, broil the wings in the oven, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  9. Serve the wings immediately while hot and crispy, alongside celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for dipping.
