For extra crispy wings, ensure the wings are as dry as possible before applying the spice rub. Pat them dry with paper towels before tossing. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper in both the spice rub and the remoulade to your desired level of heat. The remoulade sauce can be made a day ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld together. Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices in the Cajun rub, such as smoked paprika or chipotle powder. If you prefer grilling the wings, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and grill for about 25-30 minutes, flipping occasionally, until cooked through.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the baking powder, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, oregano, and thyme until well combined. This is your Cajun spice rub.
02
StepPlace the chicken wings in a large bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of the prepared spice rub and toss thoroughly, ensuring each wing is evenly coated. Arrange the wings on a baking rack set over a parchment-lined sheet pan. Sprinkle any remaining spice rub evenly over the wings. Allow the wings to sit for 15 minutes to allow the rub to adhere and the baking powder to work its magic.
03
StepPreheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
04
StepWhile the wings rest, prepare the remoulade sauce. In a mixing bowl, crush the drained capers with the back of a fork. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, paprika, crushed garlic, green onion, parsley, and lemon juice. Whisk to combine thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt as needed. Cover the remoulade and refrigerate until ready to serve.
05
StepPlace the baking sheet with the wings in the center of the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the wings over. Continue baking for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the wings are beautifully browned, the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, and an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
06
StepRemove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with the chilled remoulade sauce for dipping.
