Blackened Chicken

MelinOhio's Note:

I mix these spices together and keep in my spice rack. I make the blackened chicken and use for sandwiches, with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise, these are so yummy. Use as little or as much spice depending on how hot you like it.

The recipe is really great but the cooking directions for this are extremely dangerous! Putting "fat on the fire" can and will cause a kitchen fire, especially after getting a pan pipping hot. Please, anyone who makes this - be careful!

Yum! This was very simple and good. I used a combination of butter and evoo and it turned out very good. Thanks MelinOhio for a nice keeper. Made for All You Can Cook Buffet special.

This recipe was supper delish! I did change it up a bit and used EVOO instead of butter to make it healthier.
