The name makes my nephew giggle!

Slap Ya Mama Roasted Chicken

1 chicken or your favorite pieces, rinsed, I used a 7 pounds so I would have leftovers
1 lemon, halved
1 head garlic, halved, no need to peel
1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama Hot Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama Original Cajun seasoning
a few grinds of pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Heat oven at 350.  Squeeze lemon over whole chicken and place inside along with the halved garlic.  If using chicken pieces, slice the lemon into smaller pieces and arrange around the pan, along with the garlic. Mix the spices together and sprinkle over the chicken.  Bake 20 minutes per pound, leg should wiggle easily when done.  Let rest for at least 20 minutes, loosely tented with foil.

Slappy Happy Sweet Potato Fries

2 large sweet potatoes, rinsed, unpeeled, ugly spots removed
1/3 cup olive oil
1/8 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama Hot Cajun seasoning
1/2-1 Tablespoon Slap Ya Mama Original Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Slice sweet potatoes into fries.  In a large Ziploc, mix seasonings with the oil and taste, add a little salt if needed.  Throw in the potatoes and toss well.  Spread in a shallow pan, making a single layer.  Bake for 20 minutes and flip, baking for another 20-30 minutes.
