March 12th, 2019 by Jim Field
In a large bowl, combine 2 pounds chicken wings (tips removed and divided at joint), 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning. Toss to coat. Spread evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and greased with cooking spray. Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes. In another large bowl, stir together 1/2 cup jalapeno jelly, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon orange zest, 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Set aside 1/4 cup of the jelly mixture. Add partially baked wings to remaining mixture in bowl; toss to coat. Return to baking sheet. Bake until mahogany-color, tender and fully-cooked (170 degrees), 15 to 20 minutes. Toss wings in reserved jelly mixture and serve warm.
For dipping sauce: Stir 1/4 cup chopped cilantro into 6 ounces plain low-fat yogurt.
