Chopped Sticky Chicken Po'Boy with Kaw-Cajun Comeback Sauce

I'm a big fan of Cajun Power's products. I found a great recipe for sticky chicken on their website. I made it with chicken thighs, which I then chopped and put onto po'boys with some of Fat Johnny's Kaw-Cajun comeback sauce.


Seriously, this is a combination that will just make you drool. The chicken by itself is insanely good. Throw it on a po'boy and you've got something you won't soon forget.
