Easy 9 Spice Mix (for Chicken and Vegetables)

Making your own seasoning is easy with this 9 spice mix recipe – a simple blend of delicious seasonings that works wonderfully on chicken and vegetables!

This seasoning blend of 9 spices mixes well together to create a flavorful and delicious spice for chicken or vegetables.

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel stuck when it comes to knowing what spices to use for chicken or vegetables.

Sure, I could use my homemade Montreal seasoning or even my homemade poultry seasoning.

But sometimes I want more oomph. I want to say “WOW!” when I eat dinner, and I want something that I could make at a BBQ where guests would say, “That seasoning is DELICIOUS!”

Friends, look no further. This 9-spice mix for chicken is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for!

Why buy seasoning blends when you can make your own at home? It not only saves money, it is way more cost effective too!

9 Spice Mix for Chicken and Vegetables

Aside from the fact that this 9 spice mix is AMAZING, here’s why you should consider making a batch for yourself:

It’s easy. Measure the ingredients and shake in a jar. That’s it!
Frugal. Making your own spice blends is WAY more affordable than buying them pre-made.
Pantry-friendly. You probably have all the spices already in your pantry!
It’s Different. It tastes nothing like the other spices you’re used to, which makes me love this blend that much more!
All-purpose. You can use this blend on chicken, pork vegetables, or potatoes… basically whatever you want.

I actually used this mix to pan-fry some chicken for my sister-in-law and her family a few weeks ago and BOTH her and her husband sang praises on the flavor. Her two biggest kids (my nephews) also came in the house – SEPARATELY – and said the chicken was delicious. Even the baby asked for more!

This 9 spice mix is perfect for meat, like pork or roasted chicken, but also perfect for oven roasted vegetables.

Ingredients for 9 Spice Mix Recipe

As I mentioned, you likely already have all the ingredients for this 9 spice mix recipe. Here’s exactly what you need:

Paprika
Garlic powder
Dried minced onion
Salt
Black pepper
Dried oregano
Ground turmeric
Ground thyme
Smoked paprika

The only spice you might not have is the smoked paprika, and you have two choices: leave it out, or get the spice.

I HIGHLY recommend getting the spice. It has an amazing smoky flavor that is unmistakable once you taste it, and it always kicks the flavor up a notch.

Note: I find all my organic spices on good ole Amazon. Their prices usually come out cheaper than my local stores. I’ve also found good prices at Thrive Market when they offer discounts.

For amazing flavor, I like to use smoked paprika in my 9 spice poultry seasoning. It takes this seasoning blend to another level of delicious.

How to Make this Simple Chicken Seasoning

The steps to make this spice mix recipe is pretty straightforward:

Measure the spices into a 4-ounce glass jar.
Seal the jar.
Shake and use as desired!

I’m a huge fan of batch cooking and cooking once in order to eat twice, so I’ve written this recipe to fill a 4 oz jar, which is enough for 2-3 nights of seasoning. If you want more, double the recipe. If you want less, feel free to halve the recipe.

Can you use these spices for roasted vegetables?

I know I refer to make chicken often, but I use this spice mix for vegetables too! I’ve tried them roasted, grilled and sautéed and they’re ALL so good!!

Like to batch cook or meal prep? Make a double of triple batch of this 9 mix spice blend to have ready anytime for roasted veggies or poultry.
