Total time

30 Min

Ingredients

Chicken Marinade:

• 2 Lbs chicken wings
• 4 cups buttermilk
• 2 Tbsp hot sauce
• 2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
• ¼ cup pickle juice

Dry Dredge:

• 3 cups flour
• 1 cup cornstarch
• 2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning

Honey Cajun Sauce:

• 4 Tbsp butter
• 1 Tbsp cajun seasoning (I used slap ya mama seasoning)
• 1 tsp hot sauce
• ½ lemon, juiced
• 2 Tbsp honey

Instructions

1. Preheat a fryer or dutch oven filled with oil to 350 F. Prepare a sheet tray lined with paper towels or a wire rack.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce, cajun seasoning and pickle juice, then add in the chicken wings and toss to fully submerge. Set aside and let marinate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours in the fridge.
3. In another large mixing bowl combine the flour, cornstarch starch and cajun seasoning, whisk to combine. Transfer the chicken wings from the buttermilk, into the dry mixture and really press the flour onto the chicken so it sticks. Lay the wings out on a sheet tray lined with a wire rack and let them sit for 5-10 minutes to dry out and let the coating adhere.
4. Meanwhile, combine the butter, cajun seasoning, hot sauce, lemon juice and honey in a small pot or skillet and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and set aside.
5. Fry the wings in 350 F for 6-8 minutes, longer if you have larger wings, until golden brown and extremely crispy. Toss in the honey cajun sauce immediately when they come out of the fryer. Serve with ranch on the side.
