Cajun Chicken Wings with Creole Buttermilk Ranch Dip
Most of the time when I make wings, I toss them in a sauce. There are plenty of recipes on this site for different types of chicken wing sauces, including buffalo, honey garlic, sriracha and more. I love both sweet and spicy sauces but sometimes prefer wings that are served dry like these Cajun Chicken Wings. Chicken wings done this way stay crispy and are highlighted by any seasoning they are tossed in.
These wings are dredged in some of my very own Cajun seasoning mix. The recipe for the Ragin’ Cajun Spice Rub can be found here. These wings are nice and spicy!
If you don’t have the time to make your own Cajun spice mix, this recipe works just fine with some of the popular store-bought brands. I have made these with both Zatarains and Slap ya Mama and they were great with either of these.
Along with the Cajun chicken wings, I also made a Creole buttermilk ranch dip. Crispy wings go really well with a creamy dip and this ranch dip has a perfect mellow taste to go alongside the crispy wings.
