CAJUN SPICED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pour olive oil into a shallow dish or plate. Create a thin layer of cajun seasoning on another plate.

• Flip ¼ and cook for 3 minutes or until completely cooked.

5-INGREDIENT CAJUN-SPICED GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with the Cajun seasoning. Place the chicken in a baking dish and drizzle with the vinegar and oil. Shake the pan gently to coat the chicken underneath. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for the best flavor.
• When you are ready to grill, move the chicken to the counter to take off the chill. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400 degrees F.
• Lightly oil the grill and place the chicken on it, smooth-side down. Cook until grill marks appear and the chicken lifts up easily, about 4 minutes. Rotate the chicken by a 45-degree angle and cook to mark, about 3 minutes. Flip the chicken to the other side and cook until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Top with the parsley. Serve hot.

SPICY CRAB BOIL BBQ CHICKEN WITH CAJUN BARBEQUE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large stock pot, bring 1 gallon of water and 1/4 cup of the green onions to a boil. Add crab boil, mix and reduce heat to a slow boil or simmer. Add all chicken pieces and continue to simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Turn off heat and allow the chicken to soak for 5 to 15 minutes.
• Strain water. Place chicken on a large tray. Season with a light coating of garlic powder, to taste, and parsley and rub into meat.
• Place all chicken pieces on grill. Baste chicken with generous portions of sauce, repeat if necessary. Grill until the chicken skin is crispy.
• This dish is delicious if you have a taste for red pepper and something cold to drink nearby. However, if you are not a fan of peppery foods, I would not suggest this dish for your table.

CAJUN SPICE CHICKEN WINGS WITH REMOULADE SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare spice rub by combining baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, black pepper, oregano, and thyme in a small bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined.
• Place wings in a large bowl and toss in 3 tablespoons spice rub. Toss wings with tongs until thoroughly and evenly coated. Transfer to a baking rack set over a parchment-lined sheet pan. Sprinkle a little more spice rub over each wing and let sit for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Prepare remoulade sauce by crushing capers in a mixing bowl with the back of a fork. Add mayonnaise, Dijon, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, cayenne, paprika, garlic, green onion, parsley, and lemon juice; whisk to combine. Taste and add salt if needed. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
• Bake wings in the center of the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip and continue to bake until beautifully browned, no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Serve with remoulade sauce.
