This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best Cajun fried chicken he's ever had.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a hit with my family. The chicken is always crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The coating is flavorful and has just the right amount of heat.

The chicken was a bit too spicy for my taste, but the coating was delicious. I would make this recipe again, but I would use less cayenne pepper.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the coating was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The coating was flavorful, but not too spicy. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a hit with the whole family.
