5 minY’all, put down that store-bought seasoning packet and make your own.
This Cajun-inspired chicken seasoning blend hits with a triple punch of black pepper, white pepper, and red pepper flakes, backed up by garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and sweet basil.
Ground bay leaves and filé powder give it that unmistakable Louisiana depth you just can’t get from a generic spice jar.
Mix it all together in five minutes, stash it in a glass jar, and reach for it every time you’re seasoning chicken, whether you’re grilling, roasting, or frying.
Pro Tips
- Adjust the red pepper flakes up or down depending on how much heat you like
- Use this on pork chops, fish, or roasted vegetables too; it’s not just for chicken
- Grind your own bay leaves in a spice grinder for the freshest flavor
- This keeps for several months in a tightly sealed jar away from heat and light
