Bojangles Fries Recipe

Crispy, seasoned fries with just the right balance of crunch and spice—that’s what makes Bojangles’ fries so good!
The trick to getting them right starts with cutting the potatoes into thick wedges so they stay soft in the middle.
A soak in cold water before frying pulls out some of the starch and keeps them from getting soggy.
I fry them twice to get that golden, crispy shell while keeping the inside light instead of dense.
Coating the fries while they’re still hot makes sure every bite has that bold, Southern-style seasoning.
I can eat these straight from the pan, but they’re even better with a side of ranch or a tangy dipping sauce!

  • In a large bowl, toss them with olive oil and the seasoning mix until well coated.
