Montreal Chicken Seasoning

This Montreal chicken seasoning is a tasty blend of garlic, onion, herbs, and other flavorful spices. This dry rub is very easy to make & adds so much flavor to chicken!

We just finished the last bit of our chicken dry rub so I went in search of something new to try. I stumbled upon a tasty homemade Montreal chicken seasoning on Simply Scratch that sounded extra tasty because it used aleppo pepper. We also all love Montreal steak seasoning so I figured this dry rub would be a hit with the family. I used a mortar and pestle to make my seasoning blend but you can also use a spice grinder if you’d prefer, and it was super quick and easy to make.  This homemade dry rub for chicken is so tasty & enjoyed by all of us.

How to Make Montreal Chicken Seasoning

In a mortar, add the garlic, onion, coriander seeds, and parsley. Use the pestle to smash and grind until the spices and herbs are small. Side Note: You can also use a spice grinder.

Add this mixture to a small glass jar along with the lemon pepper, aleppo pepper, paprika, and turmeric; stir to combine.

Store the Montreal chicken seasoning in a jar or airtight container in a cool and dry place for up to six months or longer. Enjoy.

To use: Pour 2 teaspoons of olive oil over 1 pound of chicken breasts (or thighs), making sure they are evenly coated with oil. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of Montreal chicken seasoning, to taste, evenly over the chicken. Next, season well with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, then bake, roast, pan-fry, or grill to your liking.
