You must have heard of southern seafood boils with shrimp, crabs, mussels, and crawfish. But have you ever heard of a chicken boil prepared in bold and spicy Cajun seasoning? 

A chicken wing boil or a chicken sausage boil is definitely a thing! Not everyone likes seafood and some people are even allergic to it. But why should that stop them from enjoying the hearty goodness of traditional boils? Just replace the traditional elements of a seafood boil with chicken wings or chicken pieces and enjoy the pot made of succulent spices and creamy sauces. 

In this blog, we will discuss how you can give your chicken a seafood boil treatment and turn it into a juicy delicacy. Let’s get started! 

A seafood boil is traditionally a southern cuisine prepared by boiling potatoes, corn, eggs, sausages, and a variety of seafood in a perfectly seasoned broth. Crabs, shrimp, lobsters, crawfish, clams, and mussels can be added to a seafood boil. 

Once everything in the broth is cooked to tenderness, the broth is then strained and mixed with garlic butter sauce. This sauce then goes over the corn, potatoes, and seafood to prepare a classical, finger-licking good meal. 

A seafood boil is typically dumped onto a newspaper-lined table, and everyone just gathers around it to have a go. 

You can easily replace seafood in this delicious southern dish and add chicken to prepare a meal that sings. 

But if you are a seafood fan and want to try some good traditional seafood boils, check out Crabby Bags. They have a mouth-watering variety of seafood boils, smothered in scrumptious seasonings and sauces.

You need to have Crabby Bags’ cajun seasoning in your spice drawer to amp up the taste and aroma of your chicken seafood boil. Since we are not actually using seafood in this boil, the seasonings and sauces play a great role.

A Cajun seasoning is basically a blend of zesty, aromatic, and savory spices mixed together in a perfect balance. This spice mix originally comes from Louisiana–the place where you will find the most authentic and delicious Cajun cuisine.

Crabby Bags’ all-rounder Cajun seasoning is everything you want to take your boil up a notch. It soaks perfectly into chicken, seafood, vegetables, dips, and even sauces. Try it and it will become your all-time favorite, for sure!

A chicken boil with crispy wings and sausages tastes just like heaven. The key is to not boil the wings in the broth like you do with seafood as the wings will become floppy and soggy, losing all its taste and texture. You need to prepare them separately so that all the texture and tenderness remain intact.

You will start off by preparing a broth. Add baby red potatoes, corn, and cut-up sausages into a pan filled with water and add your preferred spices. We recommend the Cajun Seasoning or the crab boil seasoning to give a traditional touch to your meal. This seasoning contains a lot of spices including thyme, paprika, black pepper, oregano, and garlic powder. You can also add a bit of butter at this point to make your ingredients succulent. 

While your potatoes, corn, and sausages are simmering in the soft liquid, you can go on to marinating and frying your chicken. Add Cajun seasoning, chili flakes, paprika powder, and cornstarch to your chicken wings, and let them sit for a while. Coat your chicken wings in flour and fry in hot oil until golden brown. 

Once your sausage, corn, and potatoes are boiled, strain them from the broth and place them on a sheet pan along with the chicken wings. 

The next step is smothering all your cooked ingredients in a rich, creamy, and flavorful garlic butter sauce. Remember, the quality of the sauce can make or break your entire dish. We suggest buying high-quality, ready-made garlic butter sauce. 

Carbby Bags’ Garlic Butter Sauce is everything you need for your chicken boil. It has fresh garlic, flavorful seasonings, butter, and aromatic herbs. If you want your boil to look and taste heavenly, this rich and glossy sauce will do the trick. 

Pour the garlic butter sauce over your cooked chicken and other ingredients, give everything a toss, and enjoy your delicious meal! 

What type of sausage is used in chicken seafood boil? 

In traditional seafood boils, smoked beef sausage such as kielbasa or andouille are used. But if you are making non-seafood boil, you can go with any chicken sausage. Make sure to boil it in broth to let it soak up all the flavors of the cajun seasoning.

What sides go well with sausage chicken boil?

You can serve different sides with your seafood chicken to make it more appetizing and appealing. Fries with cajun seasoning, cornbread, garlic bread, and coleslaw will go perfectly with chicken sausage boil.

Can you add pieces of chicken to the seafood boil?

Yes, small chunks and pieces of chicken thighs go perfectly in a seafood boil. If you are a fan of chicken, boil your chicken chunks with all the other ingredients in a broth. Strain the contents, smother in sauce, and enjoy.

Which seasoning is best for chicken wing boil?

Crabby Bags’ Cajun seasoning is perfect for a seafood boil recipe. Whether it is chicken, vegetables, or seafood, this Cajun seasoning will penetrate deeply into the layers of your ingredients, giving it an unforgettable, juicy twist.

Adding chicken to your seafood boil not only caters to those who may have seafood allergies or preferences but also enhances the dish's overall flavor and heartiness. The tender, juicy chicken absorbs the Cajun spices and garlic butter sauce, providing a delicious contrast to the traditional seafood elements. This variation allows for a broader range of tastes, making it a versatile option for gatherings.
