Cajun Voodoo Chicken Recipes

SPICY VOODOO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Begin by mixing all of the ingredients for the marinade together in a bowl and set aside.
• Place the breasts in marinade and let stand 1 hour. Grill the chicken until done or lightly browned on each side. Remove from the grill and serve with the Southern Comfort dipping sauce.

CAJUN CHICKEN ONE-POT

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, shallow saucepan or deep frying pan over a medium heat, then add the chicken, season lightly and fry for 6-8 mins, stirring occasionally until just golden all over - no need to worry about it being cooked through at this stage.
• Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 mins more, then scatter over the Cajun-style seasoning and stir so the chicken pieces are evenly coated. Tip in the tomatoes, a quarter of a can of water and the stock cube. Stir, then bring to a simmer and cook for 5 mins.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta for a minute less than pack instructions. Stir the cream into the chicken and continue to simmer gently. When the pasta is cooked, drain well and stir into chicken mixture. Finish cooking the pasta in the sauce over a low heat for 2 mins, then stir in the parmesan and lemon juice, and cook for 1 min more. Serve the pasta straight from the pan, or tip into a large serving bowl. Scatter with parsley, if you like, and extra parmesan.

VOODOO CHICKEN PENNE

Steps:

• Cook pasta until all dente.
• Melt butter; add onion and garlic; cook 1 minute; add Cajun seasoning and cook 1 minute.
• Stir in tomatoes and simmer, uncovered, until reduced by half; add cream and simmer until reduced by half; add drained pasta; season with salt and pepper to taste.
• To prepare Cajun chicken topping for pasta: brush chicken breasts lightly with oil, then generously season with Cajun seasoning mix; grilled until cooked, then slice and arrange on top of pasta.

GRILL "BLACKENED VOODOO" CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Marinate chicken wings in Italian dressing for at least 2 hours but up to 8 hours.
• 2. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off the excess. Sprinkle with the Cajun dynamite dust to evenly coat each wing. Allow to sit till dust appears "wet".
• 3. Preheat grill set up for indirect medium heat (300 degrees). Add apple wood chips soaked in water for 1 hour to create smoke. Arrange Chicken wings over drip pan and smoke for 40 minutes.
• 4. In aluminum foil pan over direct heat, melt butter, coat wings with butter. Cook chicken over direct heat 10 minutes. Just before serving, dip wings in sweet & sour sauce and cook 10 more minutes to "set" (to stick the sauce to them).
• 5. You may have to move the chicken wings around if you have hot spots in your grill, when grilling direct, just leave over coals long enough to char "Blacken" them with a bit of char. Do not burn. You are looking for a nice mahogany color. These wings are a little on the hot side, but my family tears them up!
