Here's my homemade blackening rub:
3 T. Spanish paprika
1 T. Hungarian paprika
1 T. Ground oregano
1 T. Ground thyme
1 T. Onion powder
1 T. Garlic powder
1 T. Cayenne
1 T. Black pepper
1 T. White pepper
This is the first time I've blackened anything. I've eaten blackened food before, but never made it.
I was impressed. Definitely will do it again.
And I'd HIGHLY recommend grinding everything. The original recipe called for just dried oregano and thyme, but I didn't think the texture would be good. So I mixed everything together, then ran it all through the electric spice grinder.
If you don't like it so hot (like my wife), cut the cayenne in half. It makes it a little warm, but not overpowering. My wife can't eat anything spicy, and she liked this stuff.
Tonight, I may try it on fish.

so do you just dust that stuff on or cake it on? the recipe was good for how much chicken?
