You often do not think of boneless chicken thighs being crispy; at least I don’t. These pack a lot of flavor and a little crisp to your weeknight boneless skinless chicken thighs. It comes together pretty easy and quick. You could be eating in under 25 minutes; that’s a quick in my books.  I served these along side some roasted broccoli and some garlic parmesan noodles; which I will be sharing the recipe with you I think next week. I think the broccoli took the longest to make, only because I roast the flowerets till they are crispy.

You should have most everything for the spice rub in your pantry. The only non staple spice might be the Cajun and you only need a pinch or so. If you have to just substitute it with something that has a little heat that you like and do have on hand. You could have, depending on your sides, but dinner could be on the table in under 30 minutes; easily.
