Ingredients

  • 3 small chicken thighs 1 pound; bone in, skin on
  • 1 teaspoon avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

  • Lightly spray chicken with oil and spread with your hands. Sprinkle on Cajun seasoning and rub into all nooks and crannies.
  • Cook chicken 7 minutes, flip and continue cooking another 7-8 minutes or until chicken is cooked throughout.
  • If you prefer super crispy skin, flip and broil for a minute.

Notes
