    Wazoo, I always use Chef Paul Prudhommes Magic Seasoning Blacken for chicken. It takes lots of butter and a cast iron skillet

    Wazoo,[p]Here's a blend I use to blacken fish in a pan and chicken on the grill. I think its the paprika that causes the blakening effect. [p]2 tbs. paprika (I use sweet hungarian)
    1/4 tsp. Salt
    1/2 tsp. black pepper
    1/2 to 1 tsp. cayenne [p]Mix together and apply to meat. Let sit for at least 1 hour if you can before cooking.[p]RayS

    Wazoo,[p]Here's the Blackening rub I use for my Blackened Tri Tip. Give it a try. You will not be sorry. I also use infused oil. See below.[p]Google Blackened Tri Tip for complete details. My server is having issues right now (brush fire in the area), so you should look at the "cached" results.[p]CasaBP Blackening Rub[p]2 1/2 TBS Paprika
