Garlic powder 🧄
Onion powder 🧅
Rice 🍚
Chicken broth 🍲
Sausage 🌭
Green bell pepper 🫑
Onion 🧅
Garlic 🧄
Cajun seasoning 🌶️

Instructions:

Marinate the Wings: In a large bowl, combine chicken wings, Hennessy, BBQ sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well and let marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge.
Cook the Wings: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the marinated wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and caramelized.
Prepare the Dirty Rice: While the wings are baking, cook the rice according to package instructions using chicken broth instead of water for added flavor.
Make the Dirty Rice Mix: In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Add chopped green bell pepper, onion, garlic, and Cajun seasoning, and sauté until veggies are soft.
Combine: Once the rice is cooked, add it to the skillet with the sausage and vegetables. Stir well to combine and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Serve: Plate the dirty rice and top with the Hennessy wings. Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy! 🎉
