3 cups vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 stick butter

Seasoning for the Boil:
1/2 cup crab or seafood boil seasoning
1/3 cup lemon pepper seasoning

Seasoning for the Wings:
2 tablespoons cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons paprika
1/2 cup corn starch

For the Fiery Butter Sauce:
2 sticks butter
3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons crab or seafood boil seasoning
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
5 to 6 dashes hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Fill an 8- or 12-quart pot halfway with water. Bring to a boil and add 1/2 stick butter, 1/2 cup crab or seafood boil seasoning, and 1/3 cup lemon pepper seasoning.

  2. Slice the sausage into small pieces. Add the sausage, corn, and red potatoes to the pot. Cook for 18 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.

  3. Cut the whole chicken wings into flats and drumsticks. Season the wings with cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.

  4. Add 1/2 cup corn starch to the seasoned wings and coat thoroughly. Heat vegetable oil to 350°F in a deep fryer or large pot. Fry 7 to 8 wings at a time for 5 to 7 minutes until cooked through. Drain on a wire rack.

  5. Once the corn, sausage, and potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a large sheet pan along with the fried wings.

  6. To make the butter sauce, melt 2 sticks butter in a pot. Stir in minced garlic, onion powder, garlic powder, crab seasoning, paprika, chili powder, lemon pepper seasoning, and hot sauce. Mix until combined.

  7. Pour the butter sauce over the wings, corn, sausage, and potatoes. Toss gently to coat everything in the spicy, flavorful sauce.

  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Wing Boil feast!
