Blackened Spice Rub.

We love spicy things in my family.  So when my youngest asked for taco night… I wanted to spice things up and use some chicken instead of the usual ground turkey or beef.  I made the blackened spice mix first and then dry-rubbed it on the chicken and then refrigerated it all afternoon. Grilled the chicken and sliced it up for my taco bar.  It was met with rave reviews 🙂

Ingredients in the rub:

2 tbl of smoked paprika
1 tbl of dried ground Greek oregano
1 tbl of dried thyme
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of onion powder
1 tsp of ground cumin
1 tsp of ground pepper
1 pinch of salt

Add this to a tupperware container or baggie.  Close up and shake until combined.  Use this on fish, beef, chicken etc.
