While Carrabba’s Grill Seasoning is my favorite for steak, this is the best for chicken. It is so easy to make, takes literally 5 minutes. Make a large batch and keep it on hand. Enjoy this All-Purpose Chicken Seasoning from our spice cupboard to yours.

I love seasonings. But I hadn’t found one that was more all-purpose. I grew up on this being very seasoned. My dad has his to-go-to favorite – Lawry’s seasoning salt. The first time my husband went to grill he just threw a whole bunch of seasonings together and I was like “wait, you aren’t using Lawry’s???” He laughed. Now he loves Lawry’s but we like to change it up and since I have such distinct memories of that seasoning, I don’t see it as all-purpose. So while I was on the search for the best all-purpose seasoning I decided to make my own. After some trial and error, this All-Purpose Chicken Seasoning was the winner.

It proved itself this past week for dinner. When I grilled up chicken for our salad, 5 chicken breast for 6 of us (me and the 5 kiddos) and it was devoured. Best chicken ever exclaimed Madden. Wow, that is a big comment coming from my most picky eater.

How do you make all purpose seasoning?

Add all of the ingredients to a small glass mason jar (make sure you use one that has a lid).

Twist on lid to the jar and shake to combine.

You may also combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine and use immediately or store in an airtight container.

Store in a dry, cool place like your spice cupboard.

  3. We grill a lot of chicken, especially during the summer. This will be a great way to keep the flavors fresh and new.

  5. I love making homemade seasoning blends at home–so much cheaper and truly enhances meals. This chicken blend is going on my must make list.

  6. Wayyyyy too much salt for my family’s taste. We had to cut it back to like 1/4 teaspoon along with the pepper.

    • The salt can definitely adjusted to your, but this amount is for a larger batch, not one serving. You can use as much or as little on the chicken depending on how you like it. Thanks for giving it a try!

  14. I came across this seasoning and thought I’d give it a try. Its not terrible, but i would definitely use less- like half- the salt and season the chicken sparingly.

  21. The BEST chicken seasoning!!! I found this a while ago, lost it, franticly tried to find it, tried a bunch of “meh” recipes, then finally found it again tonight!! I’m making up a big jar to coat all of my chicken – making it into chicken salad is one of my favorite ways to use this seasoning. Thank you Sandra!!

    • I find chicken needs salt! You can definitely adjust to your preferences, and use as much or as little as you’d like on your chicken.

    Have made it a few times. First time with no modifications but was way to salty — and I really like salt. Figured it was because I also brined in salt so second time I skipped salt entirely. It was okay but not salty enough for me. Made it again tonight but half the salt. It was okay for me but the coarse salt is too much for my husband. Pepper has always been a bit much and I have consistently used less than half of the pepper. Next time I will use a third of the salt but use table salt and a half teaspoon of pepper. The rest of the ingredients are spot on.

    • The amount of salt can definitely be adjusted to your preference! Salt is definitely a hard thing to get right to please everyone. I’m glad you got it figured out and enjoy it! Thanks for sharing.
