Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200C/400 degrees F.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together all the blackening spices.

Step 3

Toss the chicken in the spices, making sure that each fillet is evenly coated.

Step 4

Heat a large heavy based frying pan over high heat until very hot.

Step 5

Add the oil and fry chicken fillets on each side.

Step 6

You want the chicken to fry quite fast so that you sear and roast the spices very well.

Step 7

Don't be tempted to add too many pieces to the pan at once or you will not get the desired effect.

Step 8

When the fillet is well seared, place on a roasting tray and bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Serve the chicken on a platter garnished with a few salad leaves.
