Honey Cajun Chicken Wings, Oxtails with Mac & Cheese and Beans

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, tips removed, drumettes and flats separated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
  2. Season Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.
  3. Bake: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
  4. Prepare Glaze: While the wings are baking, whisk together honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce the mixture slightly, about 5 minutes, then set aside.
  5. Toss Wings in Glaze: Once the wings are cooked, place them in a large bowl. Pour the honey Cajun glaze over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
