Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk or stir until well blended.
- To use, generously rub over chicken thighs, breasts, drumsticks, or tenders or a whole chicken before cooking. You can first rub some olive oil over the chicken to help the rub stick to the meat better.
- For the most flavor, let the rub marinate on the meat for 1 hour (and up to 12 hours) in the refrigerator before cooking. Discard any rub that has come in contact with raw chicken or your hands when rubbing on the chicken.
- Cook chicken as desired, such as in the oven, on the grill or in an air fryer, Instant Pot or slow cooker.

KFC GRILLED CHICKEN COPYCAT RECIPE | TOP SECRET RECIPES
It took chefs several years to develop what would eventually become KFC's most clucked about new product launch in the chain's 57-year history. With between 70 to 180 calories and four to nine grams of fat, depending on the piece, the new un-fried chicken is being called "KFC's second secret recipe," and "a defining moment in our brand's storied history" in a company press release. The secret recipe for the new grilled chicken is now stored on an encrypted computer flash drive next to the Colonel's handwritten original fried chicken recipe in an electronic safe at KFC company headquarters. Oprah Winfrey featured the chicken on her talk show and gave away so many coupons for free grilled chicken meals that some customers waited in lines for over an hour and half, and several stores ran out and had to offer rain checks. Company spokesperson Laurie Schalow told the Associated Press that KFC has never seen such a huge response to any promotion. "It's unprecedented in our more than 50 years," she said. "It beats anything we've ever done." When I heard about all the commotion over this new secret recipe I immediately locked myself up in the underground lab with a 12-piece bucket of the new grilled chicken, plus a sample I obtained of the proprietary seasoning blend, and got right to work. After days of nibbling through what amounts to a small flock of hens, I'm happy to bring you this amazing cloned version of this fast food phenomenon so that you can now reproduce it in your own kitchen. Find the smallest chicken you can for this KFC grilled chicken copycat recipe, since KFC uses young hens. Or better yet save some dough by finding a small whole chicken and cut it up yourself. The secret preparation process requires that you marinate (brine) your chicken for a couple hours in a salt and MSG solution. This will make the chicken moist all of the way through and give it great flavor. After the chicken has brined, it's brushed with liquid smoke-flavored oil that will not only make the seasoning stick to the chicken, but will also ensure that the chicken doesn't stick to the pan. The liquid smoke in the oil gives the chicken a smoky flavor as if it had been cooked on an open flame barbecue grill. The grilled chicken at KFC is probably cooked on ribbed metal plates in specially designed convection ovens to get those grill marks. I duplicated that process using an oven-safe grill pan, searing the chicken first on the stovetop to add the grill marks, then cooking the chicken through in the oven. If you don't have a grill pan or a grill plate, you can just sear the chicken in any large oven safe saute pan. If you have a convection function on your oven you should definitely use it, but the recipe will still work in a standard oven with the temperature set just a little bit higher. After baking the chicken for 20 minutes on each side, you're ready to dive into your own 8-piece bucket of delicious indoor grilled chicken that's as tasty as the fried stuff, but without all the fat.Check out the video demonstration of this recipe.

HOMEMADE BLACKENED SEASONING (BLACKENING SPICE …
Blackened Seasoning, a flavorful Cajun spice-blend to cook blackened spice-crusted chicken or fish. Blackened chicken or fish tastes delicious, and aroma is like eating in classic Southern Kitchen. With this easy recipe, you can now make Blackened Chicken at home. All spices, to make this seasoning, are already in your pantry. Plus homemade seasoning is healthier, preservative free, artificial color free, and gluten free.
Homemade Seasonings are good utilization of pantry spices, and also a great way to save some money. Why spend on something you can resource from your own pantry? Isn't it? This is what motivates me to keep adding homemade seasonings to ChefDeHome repertoire. (Keep reading to get list of all previous seasoning recipes.)
So, let's make Blackened Seasoning today!
WHAT IS BLACKENED SEASONING
Name Blackened Seasoning (or Blackening Spice) is derived from "Blackening" cooking method. Blackening is a cooking technique used to create black-brown spice crust on fish or chicken. It was made popular by Cajun cuisine expert Chef Paul Prudhomme. His seasoning is popular by name Paul Prudhomme's Redfish Magic Seasoning.
If you like Southern food, I'm sure you must have come across - blackened chicken or blackened tilapia? In this preparation, chicken or fish is coated in milk products such as butter, or buttermilk. It is then dredged heavily with Blackening Seasoning and cooked in hot cast iron skillet. Milk solids, sugar and spices create an aromatic, and amazingly delicious black-brown crust. You can't miss the aroma.
Using this spice blend, I have previous shared Blackened Chicken Chopped Salad and Blackened Fish Taco Salad recipes on blog. I highly recommend trying these with this homemade Blackened Seasoning recipe.
WHERE TO BUY BLACKENED SEASONING?
Prior to starting making my own blackening spice blend, I often used store-bought. I recommend to buy following blackened seasoning brands from your local grocery store or online.
WHAT IS IN BLACKENED SEASONING?
Blackened Seasoning is magic of just 8 pantry spices. Namely - garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, cumin, cayenne, and chili flakes. (black pepper, and salt on the house) It is very easy and cost-effective to mix own blackening spice at home because most of these spices you will already have in pantry.
To make blackened seasoning, I start by dry roasting cumin seeds and black peppercorns. This step only takes 1-2 minute but makes big difference in flavor of Blackened Seasoning. After dry toasting, I grind cumin seeds, black peppercorns with chili flakes, dried thyme and oregano.
Please note that grinding herbs and seeds to fine powder is VERY important to make a uniform blackened spice crust. If herbs or spices are coarse ground.. these won't stick to chicken/fish well and will also darken/burn quickly. For that reason, make sure all spices are fine ground including sugar, salt, onion and garlic. For best results, add all coarse or whole spices to spice grinder and pulse a few times.
Blackened Seasoning is a healthy seasoning. It has very less sugar per serving. In-fact, you can even make low-sodium or salt free blackening Seasoning because onion, garlic, oregano, paprika have so much flavor that salt is not missed. Or to control the amount of salt per taste, I recommend adding half of the salt while mixing. Add rest after tasting the mixed spice blend.
Just like salt, you can control the amount of heat in seasoning by adding half amount at time of mixing and add rest after tasting.
Homemade Blackened Seasoning is also my favorite for following reasons:
1. Opportunity to adjust the flavor as per personal preference. Homemade blend is way more flavorful than store-bought package.
2. Keep salt in control. Even make a salt free seasoning.
3. Make seasoning at moment's notice without a trip to grocery store.
4. Above all, ditch the delivery and make delicious cajon classic Blackened Chicken for dinner.
Stock you pantry with spices and use these recipes to make any spice mix, at moment's notice, without trip to grocery store.

Za'atar Seasoning
Turkey Seasoning
Chai Tea Spice

Note: McCormick is my trusted brand for quality spices. McCormick Spices are available in almost all US Grocery Stores. For everywhere else, you can buy these online.
Once you have spices in-hand, it takes few minute to make delicious seasoning.You can use Blackening Seasoning in endless way. My top favorites being:
1. Pan-Fried Classic Blackened Chicken or Fish.
2. Oven Roasted and Grilled Chicken. (Blackened Seasoning makes excellent grilling seasoning for any kind of meat.)

4. Vegetable Stir-fry.
