Cajun Buffa-Que Chicken Wings
These Cajun Buffa-Que Chicken Wings are a ridiculously simple recipe and with very few ingredients.
Yet they have such a bold and unique flavor.
They can be baked in the oven or cooked in a smoker or Traeger pellet grill for a little extra flavor.
The goal here was to combine my three favorite wing flavors…cajun, buffalo, and BBQ.
Sunday Fundays around here usually involve the smoker, and also usually chicken wings đŸ˜‰ So I went with cooking them low and slow.
How to Make Cajun Buff-Que Chicken Wings
For the wings I just did a dry rub.
Literally all I did was pat them dry and tossed them with 3 Tbsps cajun seasoning.
Super simple, right?!
Then onto the smoker or Traeger pellet grill set to 250 degrees for about 2 1/2 hours.
Of course you can bake them at 400 degrees too, for about 45 minutes.
Mix together buffalo wing sauce and BBQ sauce, you know…for the “buffa-que” part.
Brush the wings during the last half hour for a sweet and spicy glaze.
I brush them a few times and flip them as well.
YUM!
Check to make sure they have an internal temp of 170 degrees and then they are ready to enjoy!
Serve Cajun Buffa-Que Chicken Wings with the extra sauce on the side đŸ™‚
Usually we dip wings in ranch but these had us wanting to devour them just like this.
So tasty đŸ™‚
