• Heat a few inches of oil to 350 F in a deep fryer or Dutch oven.
• Season the wings lightly with the salt. Working in batches if necessary, fry the wings for 8 minutes, flipping once. They do not need to be fully cooked.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 F and prepare the Cajun butter mixture (recipe below).
• Remove the wings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Transfer the wings to the baking sheet. Brush all sides with half of the Cajun butter.
• Bake for 20 minutes.
• Brush all sides of the wings with the remaining Cajun butter and bake for another 10 minutes.
• Serve immediately.

For the Cajun butter

• Melt the butter in a small sauce pan.
• Using a mortar and pestle, grind together the remaining ingredients until a fine consistency is achieved. Add to the butter and stir.
• Keep warm until ready to use.
