3. Add the crab/seafood boil seasoning, lemon slices, lemon pepper, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
4. Drop the chicken wings into the seasoned water and simmer on medium heat for about 15–20 minutes, or until wings are tender and cooked through.
5. Drain the wings and set them aside.

2. (Optional) Fry for Crispiness

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
2. Carefully fry the boiled wings for 3–5 minutes, until the skin becomes golden and slightly crisp.
3. Remove and drain on paper towels.

3. Make the Butter Sauce

1. In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
2. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Stir in Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, paprika, hot sauce, and brown sugar (if using).
4. Mix well until smooth and aromatic.

4. Coat the Wings

1. Place the wings in a large bowl or pan.
2. Pour the hot butter sauce over them and toss until every wing is coated and glossy.

• Perfect with corn on the cob, boiled potatoes, or garlic bread.

Tip:
For extra flavor, let the wings sit in the butter sauce for 10 minutes before serving — they’ll soak up every bit of that spicy, buttery goodness!
