Born From the Dish That Launched My Catering Career.
Bold, smoky, savory flavor with just the right kick of heat.
Bayou Blackened was born from my Blackened Chicken Penne Gorgonzola - the recipe that helped launch my catering career and became one of my most famous catering dishes. The seasoning that gave that dish its signature flavor eventually deserved a bottle of its own. This blend layers paprika, garlic, onion, herbs, black pepper and cayenne for deep, bold flavor that works far beyond traditional blackened dishes.
Why I Created Bayou Blackened
When I began catering, Blackened Chicken Penne Gorgonzola quickly became the dish people remembered, requested and talked about. The blackened seasoning was the heart of it: smoky, savory, herbaceous and just spicy enough. Bayou Blackened is the blend born from that recipe, so you can bring that same chef-created flavor into your own kitchen.

My favorite will always be Blackened Chicken Penne Gorgonzola - the dish that started it all. I also love Bayou Blackened on shrimp, salmon, roasted potatoes and grilled chicken when I want bold flavor without having to build a seasoning blend from scratch.
