Instructions

• Measure and add to a small bowl: 1 tablespoon kosher salt, 2 teaspoons onion powder, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 2 teaspoons brown sugar, 1½ teaspoons ground paprika, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, and ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (or substitute regular paprika).
• Stir or whisk the spices together until the mixture is uniform and there are no clumps.
• Transfer the seasoning to an airtight container or jar for storage, if not using immediately.
• To season chicken, pat the chicken dry with paper towels so the seasoning adheres.
• Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over the chicken, using about 1 tablespoon of seasoning per pound of chicken; rub the seasoning onto all surfaces for an even coating.
• Cook the chicken as desired. Store any leftover seasoning in the airtight container in a cool, dry place.
