Pumpkin Spice Glazed Wings
Serves: 24

Ingredients

Wings

Instructions
Pumpkin Spice Glaze

  1. Combine maple syrup, Cajun seasoning, dark brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, granulated onion, salt, mustard powder, granulated garlic and melted butter in a large stainless bowl. Whisk to incorporate. 

Wings

  1. Season wings lightly with the dry ingredients above. I usually reserve a little before I add the melted butter.
  2. Set the fryer to 375°F. For each serving, toss 1 pound of wings with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch/flour mixture until well coated. Fry until golden brown. 
  3. Drain wings and transfer to a large bowl with the pumpkin spice glaze. Toss to coat. Serve.
