## Equipment

- pan

## Tips

- Do not drain the chorizo because you want the grease in there.
- Toss the chicken with seasonings before you put it in the pan or just season it in the pan.
- If you don't have minced garlic or garlic powder, just skip it because the cajun seasoning has plenty of flavor in it.
