Whether you’re grilling, baking, or frying, this All-Purpose Chicken Seasoning made with various spices adds perfect flavor.
While Carrabba’s Grill Seasoning is my favorite for steak, this is the best for chicken. It is so easy to make; it takes 5 minutes. Make a large batch and keep it on hand. Enjoy this 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 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 searching 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 five chicken breasts for our salad—five chicken breasts for seven of us—they were devoured. “Best chicken ever!” exclaimed Madden—that is a significant comment coming from my picky eater.
Why our family loves this recipe!

I am all about homemade seasoning! This looks great!

Having a big jar of this spice mix would be such a time saver!
It definitely is! Enjoy!
I love this seasoning and need to whip together a double batch of this for my meal prepping!

This made my chicken so flavorful! Thank you!
So glad to hear that!!
I cannot wait to use this! I need to grab a couple things from the store then I am using it!
I hope you enjoy it!
Way too salty.
Sorry to hear that you think that! It is a salt-based seasoning that you can use at your discretion, but you can definitely cut down the ratio of salt and spices if you prefer! I hope you give it another try with that in mind!
Love this mix. I just made it for the second time . It’s great on air fried chicken, both with skin and without. Will be a staple in my pantry!
So glad you like the seasoning! Thank you!

The best chicken seasoning ever!! We loved it!
We make a lot of chicken recipes and this seasoning is exactly what we need.
Yummy! This seasoning is divine and so loved here! Our favorite and best seasoning! Saved this recipe for dinner!
I liked it! I adjusted some measurements to personal taste (more garlic!), but it was a good combination of spices.
Used it to pan-fry some chicken thighs, added onions, white wine and a touch of honey and it was delicious.
Thank you for this recipe.
What adjustments would you suggest if someone were to only have table salt on hand?
I haven’t tried that, but I would imagine the same.
