Chicken Seasoning

One discount spice vendor at our local supermarket makes a great blend that's simply called, "chicken seasoning." It's an orangey off-white color, tastes of onion, garlic, and paprika, and it just plain great on — you guessed it — chicken. This is an honorable attempt at their mystery recipe for the blend.

• 2 parts paprika
• 1 part kosher salt
• 1 part dried sage
• 1 part white sugar
• 1/2 part garlic powder
• 1/4 part black peppercorns
• 1/4 part cumin seed
• 1/4 part onion powder
