Description
Blackened seasoning gets its name from the cooking technique of blackening, where food is coated in a flavorful, spicy blend of seasonings and then cooked in a very hot skillet, resulting in a dark, almost black crust. While the food appears blackened, it’s not actually burnt, but rather the spices and butter used in the process create a flavorful, dark crust. Professionals traditionally use blackened seasoning as part of a cooking technique called blackening, which results in a dark and flavorful crust on seafood, meat, or veggies! Our Blackened Seasoning 4.7oz bottle gets you started.
Blackened seasoning itself is generally considered healthy due to the spices it contains. They offer potential benefits like antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the cooking method, particularly using high heat and butter, can impact the overall healthfulness of the dish.
Because blackening always uses some kind of Cajun or Creole spice blend, imparted is a specific warm, smoky flavor. Chefs don’t intend for blackened food to be “burn your tongue” spicy. It has a distinct earthy heat from the way the cayenne, paprika, and herbs cook.

Keep the meat cold before blackening. Butter and oils will stick better to a cool piece of fish or chicken. Melt enough butter to coat all the meat you plan to cook on both sides, and then a few tablespoons extra to spare. Pat your chicken or fish dry. While we mentioned chicken or fish, you can blacken any meat so the suggestions still apply.
Brush the meat with butter on all sides before coating completely with blackening rub. Cook for 2–3 minutes, then flip and brush with melted butter. Once done, remove from pan and brush with more melted butter and, if desired, lemon or lime juice. The combination of butter, high heat, and seasoning develops a telltale dark crust on the meat. That gives blackened foods its characteristic look and flavor.
