Gather all of the ingredients you need. If using breasts, slice into chicken tender like strips. Add the seasoning ingredients into a bowl and stir to ensure everything is evenly distributed. Grab a large bowl and add the chicken, 2 tb vegetable oil (half), and your seasoning. Mix and toss well, so that each chicken piece is completely covered. Leave for at least 20 minutes room temperature or up to 24 hours covered & refrigerated. With the remaining 2 tb oil, add to a skillet. Once hot, add the tenders. Do not overlap. Sear for around 2 minutes on each side. Do not sear for longer than that. Then place your chicken tenders onto your prepared baking sheet. Place in the center of your oven for around 10 minutes. Take out of oven and leave to cool slightly. Leave the chicken to rest for around 5 minutes. In the meantime, add the butter to the pan so it melts. Stir continuously until completely melted. Now pour the butter over the blackened chicken. Your chicken is now ready to serve. Enjoy! If you'd like to air fry your chicken instead of baking, do not sear the chicken. Just place the chicken tenders into a heated air fryer (375°F/190°C) for around 8 to 10 minutes. Be sure to check the chicken often to ensure it doesn't overcook.
