Wine Advice:
For these spicy Cajun chicken wings, I recommend pairing them with a crisp and slightly sweet white wine, such as a Riesling or a Gewürztraminer. These wines complement the heat and spice of the wings while providing a refreshing contrast. Enjoy!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
