Cajun seasoning that tastes like Bojangles?

[Laurie4b 43,243]

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!

(I don't know what Bojangles tastes like.)

: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.

Oh trust me. If there's one thing I ain't, it's being up on the latest urban lingo. (LOL)

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.

Don't know if it tastes like bojangles but this is one that we really like.

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.

Tony Chachere's. That's what my Cajun family uses.

Mais ouis, cher, get you some Tony's!

[Seasider 16,309]

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.

We put Tony's on everything.

How about the real deal? Our Bojangles sells shaker bottles of their fries seasoning mix.
