Badia Lemon Pepper Seasoning Mix, 1.5 lb, Pack of 2

Cracked black pepper, lemon peel, salt, onion, and garlic — the dry seasoning that defined American grilling from the 1960s onward and still anchors the wing, fish, and chicken sections of barbecue menus across the South and Midwest.

Common Uses

Rubbed onto chicken wings before grilling or air-frying — the signature dry-rub wing alongside garlic parmesan and buffalo. Sprinkled on tilapia, cod, and salmon before baking. Tossed with roasted potatoes, asparagus, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. Stirred into compound butter for grilled corn and steak. Seasoning the chicken for a Greek-style spatchcock or a sheet-pan dinner with vegetables. Dusted on popcorn, on avocado toast, on scrambled eggs.

Cuisine Context

Lemon pepper is one of the few seasonings that genuinely crosses American regional lines — Atlanta wing shops built reputations on it, Pacific Northwest cooks use it on salmon, Texas pitmasters reach for it on poultry. The lemon peel cuts through fat, so it pulls double duty on rich proteins (chicken thighs, fatty fish) and lean ones (white fish, vegetables) without changing the rest of the dish.

Pro Tip

Add it after cooking, not just before. The citrus oils in dried lemon peel are volatile — a finishing sprinkle on hot wings or grilled fish gives a brighter top note than a rub alone.
