How to make Cajun Chicken Wings

Tips from the cook

Use baking powder, not baking soda: with soda the wings taste bad.
Pat the wings dry and rub the seasoning in well, or it can burn.
Keep them skin side up and don't shake the basket: skin that sits in the oil goes soft again. No oil needed.
More cayenne makes them spicy. For very mild wings, skip it and use sweet paprika.
