Description

Recreate the legendary Southern crunch with this Easy Bojangles Bo’s Chicken Sandwich copycat recipe. Master the spicy buttermilk marinade and bold Cajun breading for a perfect restaurant-quality meal at home.

Ingredients 

  • 6 Chicken Breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness

Marinade Buttermilk Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons Louisiana-style Hot Sauce, adjust to taste
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun Seasoning Blend, adjust to taste

Dredge Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning Blend, adjust to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour

Serving Ingredients:

  • 6 Buns,
  • 2 tablespoons Mayo
  • 6 Thick Dill Pickles

Instructions

  • Place your 6 Chicken Breasts in a bowl with 1 1/2 cup buttermilk and 2 tablespoons Louisiana-style Hot Sauce, for added punch add 2 teaspoons Cajun Seasoning Blend.
  • Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  • In a shallow bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour, 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (for extra air-fryer crispiness), and plenty of 3 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning Blend (paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne).
  • Remove chicken from the buttermilk and press it firmly into the flour mixture, ensuring total coverage.
  • Generously spray both sides of the breaded chicken with an oil mister (like avocado or canola oil). Every bit of white flour must be dampened by oil to brown properly.
  • Set your air fryer temperature to 375°F (190°C). Place chicken in the basket in a single layer. Set cook time for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through. After flipping, spray any remaining dry flour spots with oil to ensure a uniform golden crust.
  • While the chicken finishes, toast a buttered 6 Buns in a skillet until golden.: Spread a thick layer of 2 tablespoons Mayo on both buns, add 6 Thick Dill Pickles, and top with your crispy air-fried chicken.
