Ingredients
- vegetable oil for deep frying, or canola oil
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/2 cup margarine or butter
- 3/4 cup hot sauce Frank’s Red Hot Sauce brand
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon creole seasoning Tony Chachere’s, Lite
Instructions
- If necessary, cut the wings into the drumette and the wingette. Be sure to cut off the wing tip (you can save this for making chicken stock).
- In a deep fryer, heat the oil to 375°F. Deep fry the chicken wings for 10 to 12 minutes, depending on their size, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove the wings from the fryer and transfer to a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce by combining the margarine, Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, white vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until all is melted and incorporated.
- Place the cooked wings into a bowl with the sauce and sprinkle Tony Chachere’s seasoning on top. Thoroughly coat the wings with the sauce and serve immediately.

Notes
- For extra crispiness, use a double-fry method: fry first at 350°F, rest, then finish at 375°F.
- Reduce heat by using mild hot sauce and less Cajun seasoning if desired.
- Air fryer alternative: cook at 380°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Baking option: bake wings at 425°F for 45–50 minutes on a wire rack for crisp texture.
