These Buffalo chicken wings get the full Cajun treatment, including a New Orleans-style remoulade dipping sauce. Chef John uses a technique that does not include a deep fryer, so they're much less messy. "Hot, crispy wings dipped in a cold, creamy sauce provide a great contrast in texture, flavor, and temperature," says Chef John. "By using baking powder in the spice rub, these wings stay super crispy!"
