Some recipes lend themselves to playing around. I’ve made variations of several of them here on the blog but this one was rather new to me. On the menu I had one of my standards, Ranch Chicken, and as I was getting out the ingredients, I noticed the Cajun seasoning. I thought it would be a good mix: ranch and Cajun. Almost like having a crawfish stampede or eating gumbo around the campfire.
I liked the combination. It looked and tasted awesome.
A simple set of ingredients.

Great idea, I will try it! Some crawfish around the edges wouldn’t be bad either!

I always have a problem keeping the crumbs on the meat. Is there a way to do it so that I don’t lose all the flavorings of the crumbs?
