Cajun fries are just fries with Cajun seasoning sprinkled on them. You can put the fresh, slightly drained fries in a pot or bowl and shake them around while you add the seasoning. That's how the restaurants do 'em. Putting the seasoning on before frying would quickly trash the fryer oil.

Cajun fried chicken I haven't made... Usually what they call "Cajun" is just something coated with Cajun seasoning mix and grilled, broiled or fried until slightly blackened. Simply coating the chicken with a good Cajun seasoning mix and pan frying it would probably work fine. Marinading the chicken in some Cajun marinade first would probably be a good idea for better flavor. You could add a few drops Red Hot or Tabasco to the marinade. Sprinkle on or roll the pieces in a little extra Cajun seasoning to make a nice coating before pan frying. I'm sure just breading the chicken and putting a some cajun seasoning in the mix would work just fine too. http://www.massrecipes.com/recipes/04/09/cajunchickenmarinaderecip18254.html

Hit the store for some Tony Chachare's Cajun Seasoning and some Crystal Hot Sauce. Sprinkle the Tony's on your fries instead of salt, perfect! Marinate your chicken in some Crystal before you bread and fry it, and add some Tony's to the mix.
