This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Perfect hot wings are all about the technique. There's no need to flour or bread these. Frying the wings before stirring them with melted butter and Cajun spices makes them flavorful and crisp.

vegetable oil, for frying
5 pounds chicken wings, split at joint if desired
1 stick butter
2 tablespoons Louisiana hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
salt and pepper, to taste
Add ample oil for frying wings in a large skillet. Heat to approximately 375 degrees F. Add wings without any coating of flour, cook until browned, remove and drain on paper towel.
Remove oil from frying pan; add butter and return to low heat. Add dried wings and remaining ingredients, stir until well coated.
Let stand for 30 minutes, then serve with your favorite blue cheese dressing.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

This is the best Cajun wing recipe ever! Every time I make it people freak out. The butter is key along with the resting time. I'll even make them ahead of time and then cover them and keep them warm in the oven until ready to eat and they just don't dry out! It's the butter! I'll even put the Cajun recipe on other types of chicken now.
