Bojangle's Cajun Fried Chicken Recipe

A big Deep Frying pan of Vegetable oil or shortening.
All Purpose Flour (2/3 cups)
1 teaspoon of cayenne
2 teaspoons of paprika
.5 teaspoon of Garlic Salt
1 Tablespoon salt
2 tablespoon of white pepper
1 cup of Buttermilk

3 eggs

    1-Preheat oil in pan (oil will be ready when you drop flour into oil, and it rapidly bubbles)
    2- Combine dry ingredients into bowl
    3- Combine wet ingredients into another bowl
    4- Dip chicken into wet mixture.
    5- Dip Chicken into dry mixture. (some people repeat steps 4 & 5 once)
    6- Deep fry in pan for 12 minutes (some stoves may take up to 20 minutes)


I can attest (on a 15 year old memory) that the process seems similar. I know we used buttermilk in big icy silver buckets, although I know we actually marinated the chicken in a tumbler before breading it. It might be worth to try it like that. Put the seasonings on the chicken and marinate them for 15-20 minutes. Of course without a chicken tumbler, this method might be just as easy. Even if it's not the "real" recipe, I look forward to trying it at some point
