1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Tony Chachere’s Creole Lite Seasoning (or your favorite Cajun/Creole seasoning blend)
Instructions
Prep the Wings:
If needed, cut whole chicken wings into drumettes and flats. Pat dry with paper towels for maximum crispiness.Heat the Oil:
In a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the correct temperature.Fry the Wings:
Fry wings in small batches for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached. Drain on a wire rack.Make the Cajun Sauce:
In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt margarine or butter. Stir in Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, white vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.Toss and Season:
Place hot wings in a large bowl. Pour the Cajun sauce over the wings and toss to coat. Sprinkle with Tony Chachere’s Creole Lite Seasoning and toss again for even coverage.Serve:
Serve immediately while hot and crispy for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
For extra crispy wings, use a double-fry method: fry first at 350°F, rest, then fry again at 375°F.
For less heat, use a milder hot sauce or reduce the Cajun seasoning.
Air fryer option: Cook at 380°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
Baked option: Bake on a wire rack at 425°F for 45–50 minutes, turning once.
Marinate wings overnight for deeper flavor.
Pat wings dry before frying or baking for maximum crispiness
