Laurie4b 30,052 Report post Posted April 13, 2016 I have always made super healthy meals but now have a Bojangles addict in the house. :svengo: I am going to try to produce a healthier version at home, doing oven-fried, but need some guidance on a Cajun seasoning (either homemade or a brand) that tastes like Bojangles. I surely hope the Hive can help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Laurie4b 30,052 Report post Posted April 13, 2016 Slap Ya Mama??? :lol: I had to google that. I thought "Slap ya mama" was a message to me and that I would have to find it on Urban Dictionary or something! Thanks for the quick reply. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cinder 4,992 Report post Posted April 13, 2016 I'm not familiar with Bojangles' flavor either but for a mild cajun-ish flavor I make my own seasoning using Emeril's Baby Bam recipe. If you're looking for more kick, he has Emeril's Essence that is similar but includes cayenne. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raptor_dad 1,748 Report post Posted April 13, 2016 Looking online the Bo' is cleaner than it used to be... but lots of stuff is still packed with MSG and almost literally everything has soy in it, which is probably some sort of hydrolyzed soy isolate that is an excitotoxin and mimics MSG. You can get cajun spices and cook healthy but it may not have quite as much pop without the chemicals. http://www.bojanglesrdu.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/BOJ_Nutrition_Facts_2013.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seasider 16,309 Report post Posted April 13, 2016 Tony Chachere's. That's what my Cajun family uses. Mais ouis, cher, get you some Tony's! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seasider 16,309 Report post Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) All those others are latecomers after Tony's. 😄 (Same thing for hot sauces - Tobasco brand is the original!) The only main (easily detectable) spice that Tony's doesn't contain is bay leaf. So if you need more of that, you can try an eastern coast favorite, Old Bay seasoning.
