1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

Time 33m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 large skinless chicken pieces, about 200 g each
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
salad leaves (to garnish)
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons oregano
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, mix together all the blackening spices.
  • Toss the chicken in the spices, making sure that each fillet is evenly coated.
  • Heat a large heavy based frying pan over high heat until very hot.
  • Add the oil and fry chicken fillets on each side.
  • You want the chicken to fry quite fast so that you sear and roast the spices very well.
  • Don't be tempted to add too many pieces to the pan at once or you will not get the desired effect.
  • When the fillet is well seared, place on a roasting tray and bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • Serve the chicken on a platter garnished with a few salad leaves.
