Homemade Nashville Hot Chicken Seasoning

Molly LaFontaine
My homemade Nashville hot chicken seasoning is made from scratch with simple, wholesome ingredients! It's my version of the spice blend used at our favorite hot chicken restaurant here in Nashville! We love making hot chicken sandwiches with this seasoning and sprinkling it on just about everything.
