Pappadeaux Cajun Chicken Tenderloins Recipe
There’s nothing quite like the blend of spices that give these tenderloins their signature kick.A key trick I’ve found is to let the chicken marinate overnight; the flavors develop beautifully this way.Using a mix of cayenne, paprika, and garlic powder will give you that authentic Cajun taste you’re aiming for.
