Place all ingredients in blender, spice grinder or chopper “pulsing” 3-4 minutes to pulverize.

Store in an airtight container so it will not lose potency.

Makes about 1 1/4 cups.

To Prepare the Coating Mix:

Add 2 Tbsp mix to 1 cup of flour, mix well. I shake together in the bag I’m going to dip my pieces in.

To reduce the salt in this mix, I replace the salts with powders; replace the Lipton soup with 1 Tbsp tomato powder and add a little extra garlic and onion powders.
