I'm not quite sure what makes these "Cajun" since there's really not much going on in the breading. The cornmeal-based coating is hard to burn, which is good, but it's also really dry. I don't know that I'd try these again, but if I did I'd use a more traditional flour-based breading and hope it turned out more moist. Also might kick up the flavor with a few more spices. I made some easy oven fries to go with them. The potatoes had more spice than the chicken. These were bland even for a wimp like me.
