Preheat oven to 350. Line 2 half-sheet pans with parchment paper or aluminum foil. In one plan, remove the chicken from the marinade bag, and discard the marinade and bag. Sprinkle your favorite cajun seasoning on both sides of the chicken. In a cast-iron pan, add 2 tablespoons of butter, and heat the pan on high heat. When the butter starts to smoke, add the chicken and brown chicken on both sides. As they are browned, remove them from the pan and place them on the 2nd hotel pan. When all the chicken is browned and on the 2nd pan, place the chicken in the preheated oven. Bake at 350 F until chicken is 170 F in the thickest part. (about 30 minutes) Remove from oven, and let cool. Portion 4 thighs into each vacuum seal bag and seal, then freeze.
