4 Servings

Ingredients

  • Vegetable or canola oil for deep frying
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • ½ cup margarine or butter
  • ¾ cup Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Tony Chachere’s Creole Lite Seasoning

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Wings

  1. If the chicken wings are whole, separate them into drumettes and wingettes by cutting through the joints. Discard or reserve the wing tips for making stock.

Heat the Oil

  1. In a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable or canola oil to 375°F (190°C). It is recommended to use a thermometer to maintain the correct temperature.

Fry the Chicken Wings

  1. Carefully place the chicken wings into the hot oil in small batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry for approximately 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown and an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached. Remove the wings and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.

Prepare the Cajun Wing Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the margarine (or butter), Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, white vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated. Remove from heat.

Toss the Wings in Sauce and Seasoning

  1. Transfer the cooked wings to a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared sauce over the wings and toss thoroughly until evenly coated. Sprinkle the Tony Chachere’s Creole Lite Seasoning over the wings and toss again to ensure a consistent coating.

Serve Immediately

  1. Arrange the wings on a serving platter and serve hot. These wings are best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture and flavor.

Notes

To make this recipe gluten-free, ensure you use certified gluten-free Worcestershire sauce and Creole seasoning. Some brands may contain gluten as a hidden ingredient or as part of their processing methods. Additionally, double-check that the hot sauce and margarine/butter are labeled gluten-free.
