I decided to try to make my own blackened seasoning and with a little research and effort it was a great success.
Here is the final recipe
1 1/2 Tablespoons Paprika
1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
1 Tablespoon Ground Dried Thyme
1 teaspoon Black Pepper
1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1 teaspoon Dried Basil
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
I recommend making a double batch
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and you can save your leftovers indefinitely for future uses.
I had all these ingredients on hand and found this combination to be spot on to the blackened taste I had either had in restaurants or store bought.

I feel your pain on the whole lack of fresh seafood. Never thought about attempting blackening with Chicken. Also thought maybe trying it with thick pork chops. However, I would have to do something to keep them from drying out. Can't wait to try the blackening recipe!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom, it would be excellent on Pork Chops and one method I use is to inject the Pork Chops with apple juice prior to seasoning. I then use squeeze butter to coat the chops and then add the rub/seasoning.

Randy,
ReplyDeleteI finally had a chance to do this. I brinned my chicken breast in pickle juice for about a day. Dried them off. Applied a little Olive Oil and the rub and placed on a super hot skillet. Two min on each side and then placed in an oven at 250 on a cookie rack over a pan for 30 min. Came out AWESOME! Super simple rub and super good. Thanks!
Glad that worked well for you Tom. I had someone else comment on cooking in the oven and it worked great for them also
