You could make your own Cajun Buffalo wing sauce. You could grab a bottle of Buffalo wing sauce, add some Cajun seasoning, seal and shake and call it done. And it would be ok. But why not get better than ok? Why not make some The Dirty Buffalo Cajun Buffalo wings? Just grab a bottle of sauce online and make wings and get down to business. The business of enjoying a slightly spicy, well-seasoned sauce. It’s kinda thick like a BBQ sauce. Not thin like many traditional Buffalo sauce. It’s got some heat but it’s tasty heat. The seasoning rounds everything out. Nothing in your face, but all balanced perfectly. This is yet another fantastic sauce from The Dirty Buffalo.
I Went With Air Fryer Wings…
I used my air fryer to make my standard batch of air fryer wings then sauced them. You can make The Dirty Buffalo Cajun Buffalo wings any way you want. Just don’t use anything that might overpower the sauce, so don’t go seasoning them so much the sauce fights with it. No one wins when your sauce and seasoning don’t like each other. These wings are about the sauce.

My Trusty Wingman
My air fryer isn’t fancy. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles. Well, ok, it does have a bell when the timer goes off but that’s it. I don’t even use the timer actually. I use a timer on my phone that has two countdowns: one for 12 minutes and one for 6 minutes. That’s all I ever need to get perfect wings each and every time!
Brrrrrrrrr!
Put any leftover sauce in an air-tight container and keep it in the fridge until the next time you make wings. When it’s time to sauce your wings don’t just pour that cold sauce over them. You’ve spent all that time getting your wings perfect. Crispy skin. Perfect coating. Hot. No matter how you cooked them, you devoted time to making sure they are spot-on delicious. Do not ruin them by adding a cold sauce. First, obviously, it’ll make them cold. In an instant. And secondly, and just as important, cold sauce will make that crunchy skin un-crunchy even quicker than a hot sauce.
So bring your sauce to at least room temperature before using it. If you want, warm it on the stovetop. I’m not a fan of using a microwave to warm sauces, but you can do that if you want.
