As shown in the photographs this recipe creates crunchy golden wings, which are succulent and packed with flavor! At home, we try to limit our deep-fried foods, but these easy-fried Cajun wings are at the top of the list on the occasions that we do since they are irresistibly delicious. A definite crowd-pleaser at any get together as: an appetizer, game time snack or BBQ addition. Plus! This recipe can be whipped up in no time at all. I prefer a classic pairing of creamy ranch dressing and crisp celery with my wings. Feel free to mix it up with hot sauces, BBQ sauce or even try a blue cheese dip.

Helpful Tips:

1. Before adding seasoning, pat the chicken down using a paper towel; until it is very dry. The dry chicken skin will ensure that it becomes super crunchy when cooking.

2. Preheat the oil before frying. I used a pot, but you can also use a cast iron skillet. At a high temperature allow the chicken to brown a little on both sides, then reduce the temperature to medium so that the wings cook through. (No one wants bloody skin! )

3. Fry the wings in batches to prevent the temperature of the oil dropping. (I do 4 wings at a time. )

4. Season with a sprinkle of the Cajun seasoning over the chicken as soon as you take it out of the hot oil, it will stick and coat the wings instantly.

5. Feel free to use any Cajun seasoning of your choice, I use Webber’s, it is amazing!

6. Seasoning your flour is so important and is a key step in building flavor. This is the first taste as you bite into the chicken, so you want it to be good.

7. After the chicken is floured, lightly shake off any flour clumps that might be stuck to the outside, the flour that remains will become the best crispy parts.
