Grilled Chicken Po Boy

The flavor from the marinade on this chicken is unbelievable. It makes for an absolutely awesome grilled chicken po boy, but the chicken would be just fine eaten by itself. Combine the tender, juicy flavorful chicken with some Kaw-Cajun Comeback sauce (or your favorite remoulade), fresh bread, lettuce, tomato and pickle and you have a sandwich you won’t soon forget.

Grilled Chicken Po Boy

I like to really load up on the remoulade sauce. The messier a sandwich is, the better it is, is my motto. Also try my very messy grilled chicken and gravy sandwiches.

Cheater Crispy Chicken Po Boy

Whenever I make a big batch of Chez John’s Kaw-Cajun Comeback sauce, I go into po boy mode. I love a good po boy. But, sometimes I am in a bit of a rush, so I just warm up some pre-cooked crispy chicken tenders, add a few more ingredients, and before you know it I’m enjoying a great cheater crispy chicken po boy!

Cheater Crispy Chicken Po Boy

So, why’s this great sandwich a “cheater”? Well, because I used pre-cooked chicken. A real po boy would’ve been cooked on the fly. I didn’t have the time for that. Also try my cheater chicken Parmesan sliders.

Cheater Popcorn Shrimp Po Boy

Boy, these were good! If you follow this blog at all, you know that I’m a big fan (and user) of Kaw-Cajun Comeback sauce from Chez John. I made another big batch last week, and you know what that means! Po boys! For starters, I made this Cheater popcorn shrimp po boy. I didn’t have the time to deep fry shrimp from scratch so I “cheated” and used frozen pre-cooked shrimp.

Cheater Popcorn Shrimp Po Boy

These cheater popcorn shrimp po boy sandwiches have a great shrimp taste (with a little crunch) with the added kick from the Comeback sauce, and freshness of the lettuce and tomato.

Roasted Black Pepper Shrimp Po boy

I’ve never eaten a bad po boy, and this one is no exception. Roasted black pepper shrimp, Kaw-Cajun Comeback sauce… you just can’t go wrong! The shrimp are perfectly peppered. The Comeback sauce… man, what can’t I say about it… it’s just so great. It is spicy, creamy, and without a doubt the perfect sauce for any sandwich you will ever make. I can’t imagine a po boy without Kaw-Cajun Comeback sauce on it. Don’t be shy with it, either. The sign of a great po boy is one that drips all over the plate, your shirt, and down your arms.

Roasted Black Pepper Shrimp Po boy

I recommend keeping a bottle of Comeback sauce nearby when you eat this roasted black pepper shrimp po boy just in case a shrimp falls of the sandwich. Sure, you could poke it back in, but you can also squeeze a bit of Comeback sauce on it and enjoy the perfect shrimp.

Grilled Smoked Sausage Po Boy

This grilled smoked sausage po boy is one of those perfect po boys. The kind that drip yummy sauces down onto your plate. The kind of yummy sauces you slop up with the last bites of the bread.

Everything about this sandwich is delicious, but the really great part is the Kaw-Cajun Comeback sauce. It has a nice spicy kick, and is great on absolutely every sandwich you could ever make. I make a big batch of Kaw-Cajun Comeback sauce and keep it on hand for great po boys. Chez John from Fat Johnny’s Front Porch is the creator of the sauce. Pay his site a visit. He makes amazing food.

Smoked Pulled Pork Po Boy

One of my favorite things to throw on the smoker is a pork butt. Pulled pork is well worth the time it takes to make. I made a big batch of BBQ the other day. Now, usually, I’ll throw it on a bun with some BBQ sauce. Or I’ll even put it in a baked potato (soooo good!). This time, I went with a smoked pulled pork po boy.

Smoked Pulled Pork Po Boy

You can pretty much throw anything on a smoked pulled pork po boy and it’ll be good, but start with good BBQ and you end up with a fantastic sandwich! And don’t forget the slaw. That coolness, that crunchiness, that’s what makes a good sandwich great. As does the messiness. A great sandwich makes a mess when you pick it up and take a bite. The juices have to run down your arm and onto your plate. Or into your lap. An ingredient here, an ingredient there will fall out onto your lap. You pick those up, get some of that juices from your plate on them, and into your mouth they go. Hey, I know it’s not pretty. It’s not supposed to me.

Also try my slow cooker New Orleans roast beef po boy.

Kaw-Cajun Comeback Sauce

I put Kaw-Cajun Comeback sauce on just about anything. Po boys. Regular sandwiches (making them not just regular!). Wraps. Anything. I make a big squeeze bottle of this sauce and keep it on hand because it’s sooooo darned good and goes on darned near everything.

Kaw-Cajun Comeback Sauce

This recipe for Kaw-Cajun Comeback sauce comes from Chez John from Fat Johnny’s Front Porch. Do not omit the grated onion and garlic – they really make this sauce a keeper. If you cannot find Cajun Power Sauces where you are you can order them online. Although you can substitute other sauces, this sauce is best made with Cajun Power. It’s also fantastic on chicken wings.

Here are some of our favorite uses for this sauce.
