Instructions

Place the eggs in a medium saucepan or medium pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let the eggs sit until fully cooked. Transfer the eggs immediately to an ice bath to stop the cooking process, then peel and set aside. (For jammy or soft-boiled eggs, reduce the cooking time.)
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, brown sugar, chicken broth, lemon juice, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, lemon pepper seasoning, Old Bay seasoning, chili powder, and red pepper flakes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is well combined.
Place the peeled hard-boiled eggs in a shallow bowl. Pour the warm Cajun butter sauce over the eggs, turning them gently to coat.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately while the sauce is warm.
