Laurie4b Posted April 13, 2016 Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share 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.

Cinder Posted April 13, 2016 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Geek Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 http://www.amazon.com/Cajun-Injector-Shake-Seasoning-Canister/dp/B00CNHQYQW Don't know if it tastes like bojangles but this is one that we really like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor_dad Posted April 13, 2016 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Tony Chachere's. That's what my Cajun family uses. Mais ouis, cher, get you some Tony's! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted April 13, 2016 Share 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.

MyThreeSons Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 How about the real deal? Our Bojangles sells shaker bottles of their fries seasoning mix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
