Ingredients
2
pounds
chicken wings
1
tablespoon
oil
3
tablespoons
cajun seasoning
For The Sauce
¼
cup
salted butter
¼
cup
hot sauce
1
tablespoon
worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Preheat oven or air fryer to 400°F.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl or a ziplock bag, add chicken wings, oil, and cajun seasoning and toss to coat completely.
Tip
- Adding a pinch of baking powder at this stage makes the wings extra juicy. Try it!
Cook In An Oven
Set a wire rack (preferably a nonstick rack, or lightly greased) over a large baking sheet.
Arrange the wings on the wire racks in a single layer. If the wings are not fitting on the wire rack, then bake them in batches.
Place the baking sheet in the middle rack of the oven and bake the wings until cooked through and the skin is crispy (20–25 minutes).
For extra crunch, broil under the broiler on high for 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully to make sure wings don't burn or over-crisp.
Cook In An Air Fryer
Place the wings on the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook at 400℉ for 15 minutes.
Now pull out the basket, flip the wings over, and let them air fry for another 5 minutes.
Make The Sauce
To make the dipping sauce, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce.
Serve the wings with the sauce.
Note
– I like to toss the wings in the sauce instead of serving the sauce on the side. You can try it too.

Notes
In case you are using frozen wings, thaw them completely and pat dry using a paper towel before using.
