Yum! I made this as directed except that I used skinless boneless chicken breasts. The seasonings were a nice mix of flavors that worked really well. Thanks Paulg for a nice meal. Made for Bargain Basement Tag.

Perfect! I used bone-in chicken thighs. First I melted butter and mixed it some olive oil then slathered on both sides of chicken. Next I sprinkled the blackened rub on the chicken and pan grilled on medium-high then finished baking in the oven for 20 minutes at 400 degrees. Served with fried green tomatoes, corn on the cob, roasted beets with lavender. Good meal? Oh yes it was! Be sure to use salt-free garlic powder and onion powder. Thank you for posting the recipe! It was a real winner in our household.

I made this based on gailanng's Best of 2011 choice.....wonderful choice! I used boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise to make cutlets. That way my cooking time was greatly reduced, and the wonderful seasoning covered every bite of the chicken....doing it this way, I did reduce the salt a bit. Just delicious! Thanks for posting your recipe!

I consulted my rusty and discolored crystal ball and was advised this to be a good substitute for the chicken in recipe #420386. The recipe didn't mind one bit. I love one with a good attitude.
