How to Make Baked Cajun Chicken Wings

Are you ready to try these amazing cajun chicken wings? You are going to love them! I have recently been on an enormous wings kick and I have been making different types of marinades and rubs. This recipe is really simple and has only two ingredients which are butter and cajun seasoning. I like to make my cajun seasoning from scratch but you can also purchase this seasoning. Usually, around Mardi Gras, I get homesick for the days when I lived in New Orleans and I start craving Cajun food. As a result, I end up making a big batch of cajun seasoning and then I get creative with how I use it up. What can I say, I love spice!

This recipe is definitely an appetizer portion but you could totally make a huge tray of them if you made a bigger batch. This would be a fabulous super bowl Sunday pot luck dish! I hope you love it, please let me know in the comments what you think! Sending love to you all.

Baked Cajun Wings Ingredients (serves 2)

4 bone-in chicken wings
4 tbsp butter
2 tsp cajun seasoning
1/4 cup cream cheese (I like to mix the cajun seasoning into mine)

Instructions

1. preheat the oven to 400°
2. line a baking sheet with a silicone mat
3. melt butter in the microwave or on the stove (if you microwave cover it or it will splash)
4. pour butter and 1 tsp cajun seasoning into a mixing bowl, stir
5. add the chicken to the bowl and toss it in the cajun butter sauce
6. lay the chicken onto the baking sheet and then drizzle any extra butter on top
7. sprinkle the tops of the wings with the remaining 1 tsp cajun seasoning
8. bake uncovered for 30 minutes and then without opening the oven lower the temp to 170°
9. bake for 45 more minutes
10. serve with cajun cream cheese for dipping

Tips: this also goes great with cajun rice!
