Ingredients for Cajun Butter Baked Chicken Thighs:
- 8 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- 1 tsp of garlic powder
- 1 tsp of onion powder
- 1 tsp of paprika
- ½ tsp of dried oregano

How to Make Cajun Butter Baked Chicken Thighs:
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, then place the clean chicken in a single layer spaced evenly, and drizzle them with oil. Rub the oil evenly onto the chicken pieces including the backside, then combine all of the spices in a small bowl, and sprinkle them generously on both sides of the chicken giving them a good rub.
Step 2
Make sure that the skin side of the chicken is facing up, then place a slice of butter on top of each chicken, and cover them with plastic wrap. Set them aside to marinate for about 2 hours, then when ready, place them in a preheated oven at 400°F, and allow them to bake for about 45 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
