Grill is broken, so I baked them instead. Still good but I miss the char.
Loved this!!! Making it for my BBQ party this weekend ❤️🍗
These wings are AMAZING!! The seasoning gives them such a nice kick! Definitely a family favorite now.
So tasty! I added some garlic powder and cayenne for extra heat. Yum!
I don’t get why people rave about these wings. Like, are they really that special or what?
Wings are wings! They’re all good! 😄
Tried this recipe but the wings came out kinda bland. Maybe more seasoning next time.
Grilled chicken wings? More like grilled chicken failure. They ended up burnt! 😒
Sounds like you might have left them on a bit too long! These wings are usually a hit, maybe just adjust the cooking time?
Why do we need olive oil? Can’t just use butter? Sounds easy though.
I thought the lemon would be too strong but it was perfect! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, I was expecting bland, but these had a real kick! Cajun for the win!
Really? I thought they were gonna be too spicy. Maybe I’ll try makin’ them milder. 🤔
Absolutely! The kick from the Cajun seasoning is what makes these wings the best. Glad you liked them!
Was kinda skeptical about the lemon in wings. But it surprisingly worked well! Giving it a thumbs up.
I was also doubtful about the lemon! But now I gotta try it. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Chicken wings? Mmmmmm! My whole family loved it. Great spicy flavor!
I don’t get why everyone raves about these. They came out super dry for me. Maybe I cooked them too long?
The seasoning was great, but I ended up burning my wings a lil’ bit. Gonna try again! 🐔🔥
These wings were amazing! The Cajun seasoning gave them just the right kick. Will definitely make again!
So glad you liked them! The Cajun seasoning really does make a difference. I can’t wait to try them myself!
I dunno. Sounds too spicy for me. Do you really need all that seasoning? Just salt and pepper should be enough!
5 stars from me! Perfect grill marks, juicy on the inside, couldn’t ask for more!
Really? I found them a bit too salty for my taste. Maybe I’ll try reducing the seasoning next time.
I totally agree! Those grill marks are everything! Can’t wait to try this again.
Plain Chicken wings, put some BBQ sause on it n it ain’t got the taste ya’ll think it do.
I get what you’re saying, but I think the spices in this recipe take chicken wings to the next level. BBQ sauce is good, but have you tried marinating them like this? So juicy!
Yum! But I used lime instead of lemon by mistake and they turned out great too!
Lime sounds like a fun twist! I might try that next time. Glad to hear they turned out well!
Not sure if Cajun is the way to go for chicken wings. Just stick to BBQ sauce.
Cajun wings are fire! BBQ is good too, but you gotta try this. Way more flavor!
Simple and delicious! My husband loved them, said they were the best wings he’s ever had. Wow!
Too salty for my taste. Reduced the salt by half but still too much. Next time gonna skip it entirely!
The seasoning wasn’t strong enough for me. I added extra spices and it helped!
Glad you made it work! I think the spices really make a difference. I’ll try it with extra next time.
Hmm, I thought it was pretty strong already. Maybe my taste buds are off? 🤷♂️
This recipe is fire! The wings came out perfectly crispy and packed with flavor.
Pretty simple, but I burnt them on the grill lol. Need more practice!
These wings are the best!!! so good, my husband said he wants ’em every week.
Wings were good but I forgot to marinate longer, still tasty tho! Next time I’ll plan better.
I think the lemon is too much, didn’t like the taste. Won’t make it again.
Yum! Made these for my fam and they loved it. Will definitely do it again!
