Notes
Pat wings dry: Before seasoning, pat your wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness
Even coating: Use your hands or tongs to thoroughly coat each wing with Cajun seasoning for maximum flavor
Quality baking sheets: Use heavy-duty baking sheets for even heat distribution and to avoid over-basting the wings on thin sheets
