Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 ½ tablespoons cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • ½ tablespoon oregano
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
  • Store in a cool, dry place until ready to use.
  • Use 2 tablespoons per pound of chicken.

Notes

  • Use the freshest spices you can find. I like to buy mine in bulk and make a triple batch.
  • Store in an airtight container in the dark, away from heat to make it last longer.
  • This spice mix will last up to 6 months if you don't use it all before then.
  • Use this on boneless skinless chicken breast, boneless skinless chicken thighs, and even when making ground chicken tacos!
  • Don't want chicken? Use this on ground beef or ground turkey too.
  • I like to use 2 tablespoons per pound of meat.
