Cajun Fried Chicken Po’ Boys with Spicy Remoulade Sauce

These Cajun Fried Chicken Po’ Boys are a real New Orleans treat! I ordered several different Po’ Boys during a visit to NOLA, but the spicy chicken ones were my very favorite! Tender chicken breasts are pan fried in cajun spices, placed on a french roll that is layered with spicy remoulade sauce, and topped with a delicious sweet slaw.  Our family loves them any time of year, but they’re really fun to serve around Mardi Gras time. Perfect for picnics, family barbecues, or just a casual evening supper. Enjoy!

What is a Po’ Boy Sandwich?

Just a little about the Po’ Boy Sandwich. The name is, of course, short for “poor boy” because they were considered to be a cheap way to eat a meal. The Louisiana sandwich is served on a french roll or baguette filled with meat or seafood and many times topped with lettuce, tomatoes, or my favorite, coleslaw! See the recipe card below for a simple slaw to add to your spicy po’ boy.

Signature Sauce

Po’ boys are also traditionally served with remoulade sauce, a Louisiana style French sauce that’s packed full of flavors and spices! In my opinion, the remoulade sauce is what makes the Po’ Boy! This recipe is one the easiest things to make, even though it looks and sounds a bit complicated. But don’t worry; you can find all the ingredients for this recipe right in your regular grocery store. The combination of sriracha sauce, Cajun seasonings, horseradish, garlic, mayo and other ingredients will make your taste buds sing! Read Next: Easy Lunch Ideas
