Blackening Seasoning for Fish or Chicken
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.
