Bathed in buttermilk and spiced ever so slightly, this Cajun fried hen is memorably moist, superlatively crisp, and gosh darn perfect through and through.

Cajun Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya
Jambalaya just doesn’t get any more authentic than this deeply flavored, deeply revered rendition from Cajun country.
Seafood Gumbo
Seafood gumbo loaded with shrimp, such as this classic Cajun recipe, screams for a cold beer and a lazy weekend afternoon dedicated to nothing but cooking.
Cajun Spice Mix
Cayenne. Paprika. Pepper. Chili powder. Remarkable how something so simple can taste so complex.
