Cajun cooking is flavorful and spicy, but not always hot. This chicken combines a great blend of readily available herbs and spices in addition to an awesome sauce. The result is a gloriously delicious chicken that is moist, crispy, and bursting with flavor. Pairs best with rice or sweet potato sides but can really go with almost anything.  

Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 4–6 chicken quarters, cut into eighths

  • 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons paprika (Moroccan paprika, which is oil based, is best)

  • 1 teaspoon Gefen Garlic Powder

  • 3 tablespoons oil (I use 2 canola oil and 1 Gefen Sesame Oil)

  • 3 tablespoons Glicks Soy Sauce

  • 1/3 cup dark Karo syrup

  • 1/3 cup pineapple or fresh orange juice

Directions

Make the Chicken

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).

2.

Bake covered for one and a half hours, basting occasionally. Uncover and bake for 15–30 minutes, or until crisp. If necessary, add a bit of water towards the end.

3.

Wash chicken pieces and pat dry. Place in a 9- x 13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle spices on chicken. Combine oil, soy sauce, Karo syrup, and juice in a small bowl. Pour evenly over chicken pieces.

Tips:

Instead of dark Karo syrup, you can sub 1/3 cup light brown sugar and 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar.

Notes:

You can easily make your own Cajun seasoning. There are many different varieties. Here is one option: Combine 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon coriander, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cracked pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon oregano. You can add any of the following as well: onion powder, garlic powder, basil, thyme, chili powder, crushed bay leaves, cayenne pepper. Possibilities are endless. Do what suits your taste.
