I think you mean "complex-intransitive" clause and "participial" adjective:

The show was entertaining is an example of a complex-intransitive clause in which "entertaining" is a participial adjective.

My post is about the complex predicates (also called resultatives sometimes), BillJ.

This is a complex-transitive clause with the object "the food" as predicand for the predicative complement "blackened". Same analysis applies to your previous example.
