How to Make Cajun Chicken Wings
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove chicken wing tips and separate wings into drumettes and flats.
- In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook for 3 minutes, or until softened.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chili sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (adjust to your spice preference), 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, 1 teaspoon liquid smoke, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference), 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1 tablespoon chili powder.
- Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until bubbly. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Place chicken wings in a large bowl or resealable bag. Pour the cooled sauce over the wings, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours (longer is better!).
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Place wings on the preheated grill. Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.
- While wings are grilling, reserve 3/4 cup of the remaining marinade for dipping sauce.
- In a small saucepan, bring the remaining marinade to a boil. Boil for 1 minute and set aside.
- Serve the grilled Cajun chicken wings immediately with the reserved dipping sauce.
