Whether we’re seasoning chicken, brisket, or pork butt, my base seasoning is equal parts salt, black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
Of course, that’s a new batch I just dumped into the jar and I did some good shaking it up before sprinkling it on the brisket yesterday.
There are so many seasoning mixes and rubs out there, but through the years, I’ve learned the salt, pepper, garlic and onion powders are a good place to start. I’ll add a few other things sometimes but sometimes I don’t add anything else. These days, I’m more about wanting to eliminate a few jars from my overcrowded spice cabinet and a simple spice mix for meats is working well for us.

Thanks for this recipe! I may have to try this!

This is the recipe I almost use. I eliminate the salt, and change the black pepper to white pepper. It’s good on everything. I add salt as needed when serving.

That’s what I’ve used all my life, except that I include celery salt with it. I have another one, completely different that I also like on pork or beef, but both are just equal parts of pretty common herbs.
