These Brown Sugar Cajun Wings feature a sticky, caramelized exterior from brown sugar and a lively kick from Cajun seasoning, making them perfect for weeknight dinners or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, aiming for a surface temperature around 375 to 450 F.
  2. Combine brown sugar, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl; whisk until evenly distributed.
  3. Pat the wings dry with paper towels. Add the wings and drizzle with olive oil; toss until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange wings on the grill, leaving space between pieces. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until caramelized and an instant-read thermometer reads at least 165 F.
  5. Remove wings and let them rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving hot for the best texture.

Notes

Use light brown sugar for a milder flavor or dark brown sugar for a deeper caramel flavor. Cajun seasoning can be substituted with a mix of paprika, cayenne, oregano, thyme, and a pinch of salt.
