Preparation:
- Melt 3 tbsp of the butter in a small saucepan, once melted add in 3 tbsp cajun blackening seasoning and mix to incorporate.
- Pour this mixture over top of the chicken thighs, tossing to coat evenly
- Heat a cast iron pan until just starting to smoke, and then lightly butter the bottom of it.
- Add the chicken thighs to the pan, sprinkling with a little more cajun seasoning if there are any bare spots.
- Cook for about 4 minutes until crispy and dark before flipping. Cook for another 4 minutes or until cooked through on this side.
- While the chicken is cooking, make the lemon, garlic aioli by combining the mayonnaise, grated garlic, lemon juice, and black pepper.
- As soon as the chicken is removed from the pan, thinly slice the red onion, tomato, and tear the lettuce.
- Top the brioche bun (optionally toasted) with the aioli, then lettuce, red onion, tomato (salted), chicken, cheese, and then the top bun with a little more aioli.

Tips:
- Depending on the spiciness of the cajun seasoning you are using, you can increase it by adding in some cayenne powder.
- Try swapping the lemon, garlic aioli for sriracha mayo.
