Materials

  • - 4 chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
  • - 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • - 1 tablespoon paprika
  • - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • - 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • - Salt and pepper to taste
  • - 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • - 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • - 2 cups chicken broth
  • - 1 can 15 oz red beans, drained and rinsed
  • - 1 onion diced
  • - 1 green bell pepper diced
  • - 2 cloves garlic minced
  • - 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken thighs in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and fry for about 10-12 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain.
  • In a separate saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
  • In another pan, sauté the onion, bell pepper, and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the red beans and Cajun seasoning, cooking for another 5 minutes. Combine the bean mixture with the cooked rice.
  • Serve the crispy chicken hot over the red beans and rice.
