Make your own blackened seasoning for chicken, seafood and more. This blackening spice blend is an easy seven spice recipe with the perfect amount of heat!
Don’t use fresh herbs in this seasoning blend – Normally I would tell you that interchanging fresh herbs when a recipe calls for dried is a reasonable idea. However, not when it comes to blackening! They would immediately char, burn and ruin any flavor you’re looking to impart.
Buy fresh, quality spices for your seasoning blends.
Although spices last a long time when stored properly, you’ll get the best flavor early in their shelf life.
Adjust ingredient amounts to your taste.
Fill small, lidded glass jars.
Make sure to add a label with the contents and the date.
