Cajun french fry seasoning (Bojangles copycat)
Not just for French fries, this seasoning mix is perfect for any type of potato. Add this seasoning to your fried chicken dredge or even sprinkle it on your next steak or pork chop before grilling if you're into flavor experiences. If you're trying to use this to recreate Bojangles Fry Seasoning, do not add the optional cayenne powder.

Directions:
Add all of the seasonings to a small bowl and stir to combine.
Store in a sealed container on the counter or in your spice rack until you need extra flavor in your life.
Notes:
The cayenne powder is a good addition and doesn't add too much spice heat, but there's almost no heat in Bojangles Fry Seasoning, so if you're trying to be authentic, leave it out.
You can double or even quadruple this if you want more seasoning. The brown sugar may start to clump up if you store it for a long time, so you should shake or stir it before using it.

I recreated Bojangles Cajun filet biscuit combo, Cajun fried chicken, buttermilk biscuit, seasoned fries, sweet tea and all!
Good Morning,
I had a question about the chili powder? Which one do I use, the powder of dried chilies or the chili powder mix? They really need to rename this spice. Thanks in advance
Hi Gabrielle,
The chili powder I have currently and the one I used for this recipe is McCormick’s chili powder that you buy in the small jars from the spice section of the store. Chili powder mix, that comes in packets for making a pot of chili is different but if you have some on hand it would probably work ok since it’s just 1/2 a teaspoon in the recipe. I just looked online at a bunch of “chili powders” that I can find at my local stores and they all are more than just dried chili. The McCormick’s ingredients are: “Chili Pepper, Spices, Salt, Silicon Dioxide (Added to Make Free Flowing), and Garlic.”
And yes, I agree that chili powder and chili powdered seasoning mix have a bit of a naming problem. Sorry for the confusion!
