Whether you’re grilling, baking, frying this All Purpose Chicken Seasoning made with a variety of spices adds the perfect amount of flavor.
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.
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.
Can’t wait for you to try our favorite summer grill base. Try it out and let me know how you best like it served. Enjoy! XOXO San
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

Measuring Cups: Nothing beats a good set of measuring cups that last a long time. I love metal measuring cups because of their durability.
Measuring Spoons: I have to have a metal set of measuring spoons on hand. The plastic ones just don’t last long in our house partly due to the garbage disposal.
Mixing Bowls: I love having a variety of sizes of mixing bowls. From small to large, I find that having at least 3 bowls of different sizes has been essential in my kitchen. I prefer Pyrex because of the durability.

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.
I hope you enjoy it!
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!
I can think of so many times that I will be using this!!
It definitely has many uses, enjoy!
I need to make this!
Enjoy!
This would be perfect to try this weekend!! Would love to give this a try!
You totally should! I hope you like it!

This looks like a great seasoning to have on hand. No need for the jar stuff any longer 🙂
Definitely! I hope you enjoy it!
I love all the ingredients in this seasoning. A must try!
It’s definitely a great blend. Enjoy!
We cook a lot of chicken and I’m always looking for new ways to make it……this seasoning sounds fabulous!
We do too, hope you enjoy!
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.
The salt can definitely be adjusted for taste. Thanks for giving it a try!
This is my go to seasoning for my chicken. A nice blend.
I’m glad you like it, thanks!
