Shore Lunch Archives - For the Wing

I like grabbing a breading box out of my pantry and making deep-fried wings. It’s easy. And luckily, there are several really tasty breading brands on the market. One of my favorites is Shore Lunch. And in particular, their Cajun-flavored breading. I know, the box says ‘fish breading’. You can ignore that. I did, and I used it to make some wings! Crunchy and flavorful, you’ll quickly realize that the box doesn’t have to say ‘chicken’ to be great for chicken!

Today, I wanted something with a bit more kick. So I ’embellished’ the breading and made some Shore Lunch Spicy Cajun Style wings. Same great flavor as the original, but with some heat. Oh yeah, these are my kind of easy wings!

No Sauce Required

These Shore Lunch Spicy Cajun Style wings don’t require a sauce. They’re great just as they are, right out of the deep fryer! But, if you’re craving a little sauce, a little something more, serve them with some Buffalo sauce on the side. Or your favorite dressing. But honestly, the wings are so good without it you won’t miss it if you just eat them ‘naked’.

Or dip them in some sauce on the side. For me, I didn’t need anything extra. I found these wings to be superb just as they were, hot out of the fryer. Man, what great wings!
