Wings & Sauce

Method

Preparation & Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Wings

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, tequila, and Cajun seasoning. Mix well and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for better flavor.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the marinated wings in the flour mixture until well coated.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Wings

    Carefully add the coated wings to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the wings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
