Here’s a delicious recipe for Creamy Cajun Garlic Butter Wings:
Ingredients:
For the Wings:
- 2 lbs chicken wings, drumettes, and flats separated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Creamy Cajun Garlic Butter Sauce:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: extra Cajun seasoning for sprinkling
Instructions:
1. Prepare the wings:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
2. Make the creamy Cajun garlic butter sauce:
- While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the Cajun seasoning and smoked paprika. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue cooking until the sauce is smooth and creamy, about 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
3. Coat the wings:
- Once the wings are done, toss them in the creamy Cajun garlic butter sauce until fully coated. You can also drizzle the sauce over the wings if preferred.
4. Serve:
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and sprinkle extra Cajun seasoning on top if desired. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as is!
These wings are full of bold Cajun flavors with a rich, creamy garlic butter sauce that makes them irresistible!
