I smiled when I saw the title of this thread. It reminded me of something the late great Justin Wilson said on one of his shows back in the 80's when "blackened" everything was the rage. When asked about blackened chicken his reply was, "If my mama fried anything that turned out blackened she would have thrown it out and started over". You had to have seen the episode to appreciate the tongue-in-cheek response.

bushman - I mixed this stuff up and tried it on tonight's chicken - WOW!
Thanks so much!!

I have used the seasoning mix on fish,steak and fillets of fish.All with great results.
