If you’ve ever wondered what gives our fried foods that extra "pop," this is the secret! Chris’s Special Seasoning is a perfectly balanced blend of three different peppers that provides a subtle heat and incredible depth of flavor. It is the essential ingredient for our Famous Fried Chicken, but it’s also fantastic on pork chops, fried okra, or even sprinkled on popcorn!

Notes

Chris’s Tips

“Enjoy my special blend of spices.” The combination of black, white, and cayenne pepper covers the full spectrum of heat,black pepper for the back of the throat, white pepper for the tongue, and cayenne for that signature Southern kick. This blend is especially amazing in our Famous Fried Chicken breading. Keep a shaker of this right by the stove; you'll find yourself reaching for it more often than you think!
