Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by marinating the chicken thighs in buttermilk and 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and infuse flavor. Longer marination will enhance tenderness and taste. If time is short, 30 minutes will still provide significant flavor.
2. 2.
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for the biscuits. Meanwhile, prepare a skillet over medium-high heat with a light oil coating. Mix the remaining Cajun seasoning into the flour for an even spice blend. Dredge the marinated chicken in the seasoned flour, ensuring each piece is well coated, which will give it a crispy texture.
3. 3.
   Place the floured chicken on the skillet and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F to confirm doneness. Use a thermometer to avoid overcooking.
4. 4.
   While the chicken is cooking, warm the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, until they're golden brown and crisp around the edges. This warming also enhances their buttery flavor.
5. 5.
   Assemble the stack by placing one biscuit half on a plate, topping it with a piece of crispy chicken, and closing with the other biscuit half. If desired, brush a small amount of buttermilk over the biscuits before assembling to add moistness.
