These Crispy Cajun Garlic Chicken Wings are a game day dream come true, featuring bold Cajun flavors paired with buttery garlic goodness for a crispy, flavorful, and addictive dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, trimmed and separated into drumettes and flats
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 cloves garlic, freshly minced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley (optional)
  • Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, and baking powder. Make sure each wing is evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  4. While the wings are baking, prepare the garlic butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in hot sauce (if using).
  5. Once the wings are done, transfer them to a clean mixing bowl. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
  6. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
