Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to create your own delicious Brown Sugar Cajun Wings:
1. Prepare the Chicken Wings: Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Set Up Coating Station: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Coat the Wings: Dredge the chicken wings in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat approximately 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5. Fry the Wings: Carefully add the coated wings to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Ensure they are cooked through.
6. Make the Glaze: While the wings fry, combine the brown sugar and hot sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and is well combined.
7. Drain the Wings: Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the wings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
8. Coat the Wings with Glaze: In a large bowl, toss the fried wings with the brown sugar glaze while they are still hot, ensuring even coating.
9. Serve Immediately: Ensure the wings are hot when served to retain their crispiness and flavor.
