  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Alabama White Sauce:

  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Notes

  • Marination Matters – For the best flavor, let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, but overnight is even better!
  • Use a Meat Thermometer – Chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  • Adjust the Heat – If you prefer less spice, reduce the cayenne in the Cajun seasoning and Alabama White Sauce.
  • Storage Tips – Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or on the stovetop for best results.
  • Alabama White Sauce Gets Better with Time – Make it a few hours ahead for even deeper flavor. It lasts up to a week in the fridge!
