All-Purpose Chicken Seasoning

A simple, versatile spice blend for chicken—perfect for grilling, roasting, or pan-searing. Adds flavor and a touch of smokiness to any cut.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne peppe

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix together all the spices with the olive oil to form a paste.
2. Pat chicken dry and coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
3. Let sit for 10-15 minutes (or refrigerate up to 24 hours for more flavor).
4. Grill, roast, or pan-sear chicken as desired until fully cooked.

Notes

his blend works for chicken breasts, thighs, drumsticks, or wings. Also great on vegetables or potatoes! Adjust cayenne for more or less heat.
