Recipe: Cajun Lemon-Pepper Wings

Serves 6 | Total time: 45 minutes | Active time: 20 minutes

Smoky, spicy, and finished with a bright kick of Cajun lemon-pepper, these grilled wings are the kind of finger food that keeps everyone coming back for more. Fire up the grill and let’s get into it.

Ingredients

• 4 pounds whole chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the grill
• 3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, divided
• 1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
2. In a large bowl, coat the wings evenly with oil, 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Grease your grill grates and place wings in a single layer. Cover and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, turning occasionally, until deeply browned and cooked through.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining Cajun seasoning, remaining garlic powder, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
5. Pull the wings off the grill and toss immediately in the lemon-pepper mixture until fully coated. Serve hot.
