Any special spices or sauces to give chicken, fish, beef alittle boost of flavor

Adpalangi

Been kinda lost since end of Sept. Long story. The chicken, turkey, fish, were becoming so boring and not very taste. Any help? What's in your spice rack?

I love Indian food so I use Indian spices a lot. Cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, cardamom, nutmeg, paprika, cayenne, chili powder, cinnamon...not necessarily all at once. I've been into Cuban food recently, so I've been cooking a lot with allspice.

Oh lyttlewon you beat me to it. I use a lot of the Indian/Malaysian/Thai spices when cooking.
I usually mix and grind from scratch, but there are plenty of mixes and rubs in the supermarkets now.
I also use salad dressings as a marinade for chicken and fish. A little goes a long way and no extra oil is needed.
Yogurt and herbs are also a tasty way to add a little flavour.
Experiments in the kitchen are fun.
Cheers, h.

I am not affiliated with this company in any way - but have you ever heard of the Savory Spice Shop? I have a pantry full of their spice blends. They make some great mixes and it helps me not get into a rut with my cooking. Plus I don't have to keep a bottle for each individual spice so I save space by having mixes. I order online, and often my family join me in the order so we have enough to get free shipping.

Turmeric is a great mood enhancer that has also had results in reducing certain types of cancer cells! I put it on some of my food just for the former, the latter is a bonus lol

I use Cavender's Greek Seasoning (No Salt version) on chicken pork and beef, sometimes on veggies too. Play around with your spice rack to find new flavors you like. Check different recipe sites for rubs and different recipes to change up how you make the same meats. I use All Recipes to find new ways to cook old bird.

Mrs Dash has some great mixed spices. Beings they are salt free, you can control the sodium also. Table blend, garlic and herb, and spicy are some of my favorites.

Was feeling very similar about chicken a few months ago, felt like we had it every week and it was boring and repetitive. Found a recipe for Chicken Adobo on youtube, it was very similar to this one: foodnetwork.com/recipes/filipino-chicken-adobo-recipe.html

Siracha, vinegar, ketchup, mustard, Mrs. Dash spices, salsa.

Now I just slow crock pot 5lbs. of chicken for 8 hours on Sunday with a flavor or barbecue sauce, salsa, or hot sauce.

Got a Penzey's nearby? Their spice blends pretty much rule. They sell all sorts in small jars for experimentation.

I always combine low sodium soy sauce, stevia, and minced garlic to put over my fish.

Chicken or fish baked with salsa is delicious and easy.

Wow, I guess I better get myself in the kitchen and get my act together.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to share

cumin is great with chicken!

and siracha mayo or a homemade spicy mayo make everything taste better! It even makes veggies taste great!

Alluminati

All the spices and herbs, just experiment.

I like mixing equal parts sour cream and Dijon mustard together. Then throw in dried dill and a dash of garlic powder and cook the chicken in that sauce Yum! For 4 chicken breasts, I'd use a 1/4 cup each of sc and Dijon and then 1/4 tsp garlic powder and 1 tbsp. dried dill

On a nice piece of grilled fish i serve it with 1tbsp of home made tartare sauce which i make from

capers
gherkin
good quality whole egg mayonnaise.

Finely dice the capers and gherkin. Adjust the amounts until you get the right balance in the sauce. If you've ever eaten the bought stuff, you should be able to figure it out.
Of course i always squeeze lemon on my fish first. Fish without lemon isn't conceivable to me. And fresh ground black pepper.
And rub a little salt and oil onto the fish at the time of grilling.

I also like to make chicken and egg soup OMNOMNOMNOM

Marinade some chicken in a mix of gulden's brown mustard, onions and lawry's seasoning salt.

I cheat. SauteExpress has blocks I throw into the pan with some water. All the seasoning right in one little refrigerated block. The Garlic&Herb is great with poultry, and I like the Teriyaki with beef. Sodium content probably isn't ideal, but it sure is tasty!!!!!

I bet these are good...

Go ethnic. Regional recipes taste different and keep food interesting. We always—almost always—have one Mexican and one Chinese night each week. Throw in Korean, Thai, Italian, etc. and food never has to be boring.

This ^ if you are bored you should get premixed spices it will make it easier for you. Plus it makes it funner to try random spice mixes.
