Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings separated into drums and flats
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried mustard Coleman’s
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add the chicken wings and all the seasonings. Toss with tongs to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
  • Heat the grill to the medium-high mark. When the grill is hot, add the wings in a single layer to the grill.
  • Cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip all the wings on the grill. Check for spots that are hotter than others on the grill surface and adjust the wings accordingly. We want them to cook evenly.
  • Cook, turning the wings occasionally, until the temperature reaches 165F internally. This should take between 20-25 minutes depending on the heat of the grill.
  • Remove the cooked wings from the grill and serve hot with your favorite hot sauce or dipping sauce.

Notes

Alternate Cooking Method:
If you would like to cook the Cajun Chicken Wings in the oven, follow these steps:
  1. Add ¼ teaspoon baking powder (not baking soda) to the spice mixture.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425F.
  3. Lay the wings on a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet. 
  4. Cook in the oven for 12-15 minutes, rotate the wings and return to the oven.
  5. Cook for another 12-15 minutes or until the wings are crisp and the internal temperature is 165F.
