I got the idea after reading Milk Street Magazine’s recipe for masala fries……To do BBQ roasted potatoes because I want slightly healthier slightly lighter roasted potatoes instead of frying them……LATER I used this FORKING AMAZING spice blend on chicken and it was far more delicious there……. I came up with a spectacular spice blend. This recipe makes far more than you will use in a short time so you make want to half the recipe. It’s also (by accident) such a great flavorful recipe that you should use it very sparingly. As is I used about one tablespoon on a few pound tray of supermarket chicken thighs and another Tablespoon to flavor all the vegetables and beans I braised the chicken thighs in. For braising I also used a heaping tablespoon of “Better than Bouillon” brand soup base.

Ingredients for lots of servings

1 Tablespoon granulated garlic

1 Tablespoon mild Chile powder

1 Tablespoon smoked paprika

1 Tablespoon cumin

1 Tablespoon cayenne powder

1 Tablespoon mustard powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 Tablespoons course sea salt

1 Tablespoon black pepper

Directions just mix the above spices together.

Use on home made potato chips (if you can do spicy…this comes out very spicy on potatoes but perfect on chicken). Use to add to ketchup and make bbq ketchup. Rub on meats and bbq.

I sprayed a pan with non stick spray. Then sprinkled LIGHTLY with spice blend. Next placed cut red potatoes…cut side down. Added sliced onions. Drizzled heavy with oil and sprinkled again with BBQ spice. Covered pan and roast in oven till down…..In my Whirlpool oven on a middle rack this took two hours. Your oven may differ.

Enjoy!!!!

This spice blend is perfect for chicken. I bet it’s great on most meats too!

This is FORKING AMAZING!
