A supper using only a few ingredients, of which, the likelihood of you having in your kitchen, is high. The Cajun seasoning isn’t entirely necessary and a simple blend of a teaspoon each of cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, cumin and garlic powder will suffice. I’m quite fond of this particular method of cooking chicken thighs- it was passed on from a food writer friend. If you would prefer a quicker fix here, I would suggest seeking chicken thighs with the bone removed or alternatively remove it yourself- they will cook much faster.
