McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Chicken Seasoning, 8 oz

I started using McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Chicken Seasoning because I wanted a reliable flavorful blend for grilling or baking chicken without measuring out a bunch of separate spices every time. It has quickly become one of my favorite go to seasonings for exactly that reason. This blend is perfect if you do not want to buy and mix everything separately. It combines classic Montreal style flavors like garlic onion black pepper salt dill coriander red pepper and paprika into one convenient shaker. The result is a bold savory garlicky peppery taste with a nice herbal kick from the dill that works amazingly well on chicken breasts thighs wings or even whole roasted birds. It gives that restaurant quality seasoned grill flavor without much effort just shake it on generously before cooking and you get consistent delicious results every time. Whether I am grilling outdoors pan searing indoors or baking in the oven this seasoning delivers. It sticks well to the meat adds great color and aroma and the balance is spot on not too salty not overpowering just right for everyday family meals or when cooking for friends. I have tried making my own Montreal style mixes from scratch with individual spices but this McCormick version saves so much time and tastes just as good or better than my homemade attempts.

Umm what!? Where has this been all my life?? I bought this on a whim as an attempt to bring some life to grilled chicken (which I normally don't care for). This is a game changer!! So yummy & a little goes a long way!! Will definitely buy again!

I bought this seasoning to replace a Lawry's chicken seasoning that is now different than the blend I had been using. So far, I very much like this seasoning for both chicken and pork. This seasoning is good on vegetables and other foods as well. I try to vary the seasonings that I use as to prevent boredom. I have a couple of the McCormick Grill Mates Montreal seasoning, and like them all. UPDATE 09/23/18: I have been finding that I am using this seasoning great for both chicken and pork and it has become my go-to seasoning. I think this seasoning is much better than the Lawry's chicken seasoning that I used previously. UPDATE 04/05/20: I have been using this seasoning for 2 years, and found that it also works well as a rub. I use this one primarily for any kind of fowl or pork. When you bake a turkey or chicken, coat with olive oil, and sprinkle this seasoning on the inside and outside of the bird. The taste of the results is to die for. I have also used this seasoning for baked pork chops and for pork shoulder roasts. For the roasts, I usually coat with oil, liberally sprinkle on the seasoning a cook it in the pressure cooker. The roast is so full of flavor, and the gravy made from the drippings is wonderful. Since I usually have too much gravy for one meal, I freeze what is left and use it later when I need pork gravy. Homemade gravy is so much better and healthier than anything you can buy in the store. UPDATE 8/15/21: I have been using this seasoning for over 3 years for both chicken and pork. I use it for seasoning and also for a marinade. Most recently, my husband bought pork brochettes from a local grocery store. A couple hours before cooking them, I sprinkled this seasoning on them. I grilled them on an indoor appliance and they were to die for. The brochettes were huge, but so good we all of them. We had the same results with chicken brochettes hubby bought. I hope this review was helpful for you. I will update it if my opinion changes or I discover more uses for this seasoning.

I love the flavor!

Better than most

McCormick always makes great very flavorable seasonings, they are a old, well established company with a large amount of different seasonings both by the selves or great combinations. Love the combinations, alot cheaper than if i had to buy all those different spices to make my own mix which I have in the past, just need quicker easier selections on occasion. I use this particular seasoning mix on a great many different foods, Flavors them all nicely, Handy to have such a good seasoning mix on hand

This tastes AMAZING!! I don’t want to check the salt content,I use it on a lot of meals. Easy to use Large amount they give you compared to a grocery store (fact) quality is great,taste fantastic. Recommend & the large amount & size is great. The smell is delicious

This is my favorite seasoning for chicken! Very tasty for grilled chicken

Très bon surtout pour assaisonner le barbecue...😋
