Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. This blend of spices will create irresistible Cajun flavors. Stir to combine.
- Sprinkle the blackened seasoning evenly over both sides of the boneless chicken thighs, ensuring each piece of chicken is well-coated.
- Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken pieces. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and has a nice blackened crust. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Spread aioli sauce or spicy mayo on the top half of each bun. Add the chicken on top of the bottom bun, and then add a layer of fresh lettuce, a few slices of tomato, a few slices of red onion, and crisp pickles if desired.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately while the chicken is still warm. Enjoy your flavorful blackened chicken sandwich! For sides, consider serving this sandwich with French fries.
Notes
- Watch the chicken closely: You want to cook the chicken at a higher heat to ensure that the spices darken and turn into a flavorful crust, but you also need to watch that it doesn’t burn.
- Pat the chicken dry: To ensure that the seasoning mixture sticks to the chicken thighs, remove any excess moisture by patting them dry with paper towels first.
- Finish in the oven: For thicker chicken thighs, you can finish them in a 350°F oven so the crust doesn’t get too dark.
