Line a large rimmed baking pan with foil. Toss chicken and 5 teaspoons Cajun seasoning in a large bowl. Arrange on the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over. Bake until no longer pink, 15 to 20 minutes more. Meanwhile, stir the remaining 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, ketchup, lemon juice, honey and dry mustard in a large sealable container. Transfer half the mixture to a small sealable container; cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Add the chicken to the remaining sauce in the large container. Toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Tote the chicken and sauce to the tailgate in an insulated cooler.

Serve with the reserved sauce. Tips Tip: If you can't find salt-free Cajun seasoning, mix 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon each onion powder and garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon each dried oregano and thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon each cayenne and ground pepper.
