Blackening Seasoning for Fish or Chicken

This homemade blackening seasoning combines garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, multiple varieties of paprika, oregano, black pepper, basil, and cayenne pepper to create a deep, smoky, and mildly spicy blend. It is designed to enhance fish or chicken by adding a robust flavor profile when seared at high heat. The mix balances sweet and smoked paprikas with aromatic herbs and a touch of heat from cayenne, making it versatile for various proteins.

Description

The Blackening Seasoning blends equal parts garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and three types of paprika—sweet, smoked, and regular—to deliver smoky depth and subtle sweetness. Ground oregano, black pepper, and basil add herbal and peppery notes, while cayenne pepper imbues a gentle heat that complements the other flavors. This mix is ideal for coating fish or chicken before cooking over high heat, creating a flavorful, charred crust typical of blackening techniques.

The straightforward preparation involves mixing all spices evenly and storing the blend in a sealed container, optionally with a desiccant packet to maintain dryness. This ready mix offers an easy way to add bold seasoning without measuring individual spices each time.
