Viet-Cajun Wings

Get ready to turn up the flavor with these crispy, oven-baked wings tossed in a bold and buttery Viet-Cajun sauce. Made with Louisiana Fish Fry’s Cajun Drip Viet-Cajun Butter Seasoning Mix, this recipe brings together the savory heat of Cajun spices with a rich, garlicky kick inspired by Vietnamese seafood boils. Perfect for game day, wing night, or anytime you’re craving something spicy, saucy, and downright craveable.

Ingredients

1 Package Louisiana Fish Fry Cajun Drip Viet-Cajun Butter Seasoning 2 oz
2 lbs chicken wings (split into flats and drumettes, tips removed)
1 tbsp neutral oil (like vegetable or canola)
1 tsp each salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika
1 stick butter
Optional: chopped green onions or cilantro for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray.
Prep the wings: Pat the wings thoroughly dry with paper towels. Place wings in a large bowl and toss with oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Bake: Arrange wings skin-side up in a single layer on the rack, ensuring they aren’t touching. Bake for 45–50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until skin is golden and crisp.
Make the sauce: While wings are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the entire packet of Cajun Drip seasoning mix and simmer for 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Toss & serve: Once wings are out of the oven, immediately toss them in the warm Viet-Cajun butter sauce. Garnish with green onions or cilantro if desired and serve hot.
