Ingredients
Instructions
- Keep the wings refrigerated until ready to cook; use within 7 days. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight or for 2-3 hours at room temperature before cooking.
- Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil the surface. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared sheet.
- Bake on the middle rack for 15 minutes. Flip the wings and continue baking until lightly browned and crispy, about 10 more minutes. The wings are fully cooked when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispiness, pat the wings dry with paper towels before baking.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the wings before baking.
Let the wings rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow juices to redistribute.
FAQ
Can I use frozen wings without thawing?
It’s best to thaw the wings first for even cooking. If cooking from frozen, increase the initial bake time by 5-10 minutes and check the internal temperature.
What dipping sauces go well with Cajun wings?
These wings pair wonderfully with ranch, blue cheese or a cool yogurt dip. For extra heat, try a spicy sriracha mayo.
How do I store leftover wings?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through to maintain crispiness.
