I didn't have any Cajun seasoning, so I used a combination of chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. It still turned out great!

The chicken came out perfectly cooked, with a slightly crispy exterior and a tender, juicy interior. The Cajun honey mustard sauce was also delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness and spice.

I marinated the chicken for a few hours before cooking, and I think that really helped to infuse it with flavor. I also used a cast iron skillet to cook the chicken, which gave it a nice crispy skin.
