Wings

Red Velvet Waffles

Optional Catfish

Method

Wings

  1. 1

    Prepare the Wings

    In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Fry the Wings

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C). Fry the wings in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 10-12 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Red Velvet Waffles

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

  2. 4

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in buttermilk, vegetable oil, red food coloring, and vanilla extract.

  3. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

  4. 6

    Cook Waffles

    Preheat your waffle iron and pour the batter according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cook until the waffles are crisp and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.

Optional Catfish

  1. 7

    Prepare the Catfish

    Season catfish fillets with salt and pepper. Dredge in cornmeal until evenly coated.

  2. 8

    Fry the Catfish

    In a separate pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry catfish fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
