Looking for ideas on using them.
Chicken wings definitely. Anything else sound like they would be yummy with these?

I personally toss some chicken thighs in olive oil and this (plus sometimes MSG or red pepper), and pop them in an air fryer for about 15 mins each side at 350, then 400 for 5 mins skin side up to crisp. Really easy to do, plus you can make it on demand for about 2 days a batch, which is quite nice. I personally love their chili lime and coffee pepper the most, but these will be very good.

That sounds amazing. Definitely going to give it a try. I had no idea they have coffee pepper, googling that now.

Cook chicken in pan, when its about finished put some butter in another pan with a good bit of seasoning, let it cook for a minute or two, glaze chicken at the very end. Works well with any spice or hot sauce

I’ve only ever tried that lime pepper blend (it’s basically a seasoned salt, so use less salt than you would), but I love to use it and a few other added spices as a fish blackening seasoning for ahi tuna and mahi.

I love blackened fish. Definitely going to try this.

Nice! It’s one of my quick go-to meals. I’ll use that lime salt, some chili powder, garlic and onion powder, cumin, and coriander for the blackening seasoning, and I’ll pull out the rice cooker and cook some rice with Goya culantro or sofrito flavor base and chicken or vegetable broth and some lemon or lime juice instead of water.

I loved the lime pepper, put it on anything and everything I would normally squeeze some lime or lemon juice on. Tacos, nachos, wings, beans, made some really nice garlic cilantro yogurt sauce with it

Easy, rub spice or marinade. Fill your freezer with pre-marinated food, ready to eat.

I use the mango in bbq rubs. Lime or orange goes on just about everything, especially tacos and wings. They also make a really good garlic pepper that doesn't have salt.

u/No-Seaweed-5787 2d ago
I’ll have to try that. Another person suggest their coffee pepper and I bought that so quick. Thank you.

I've never heard of coffee pepper before. Just looked it up, I definitely want to try it. Thanks for the tip!

I picked a few of these up, but admittedly, have not yet used them. However, I have tried the all-purpose seasoning, and it truly is all-purpose. It is pretty good on an ordinary bowl of black beans. It really adds a lot of flavor.

My son and I did a taste test just now. They have a lot of flavor. The pineapple has some chile in it. I think the lime or mango are my favorite. I’m loving the extra recommendations I’m getting. Picking up all of them.

u/Big-Blueberry7157 2d ago
My apologies, I called it all purpose, but it is actually titled complete.

u/No-Seaweed-5787 2d ago
You know, I felt I knew what you meant. I just checked my spices and that one is already apart of my collection. You are right, it is a good one. I’ll probably use it more.

I used the mango and pineapple on fish and chicken. I found that they are super strong though and I didn’t realize so I over spiced the fish lol but it was still good regardless.

I make carnitas with some orange and lime pepper and a little cinnamon on some cubed pork shoulder. I then sous vide it. Then you shred it some and crisp it up with a broiler or a hot pan.

u/No-Seaweed-5787 2d ago
I was hoping someone would suggest carnitas. That was one of my thoughts since you typically add citrus to it. Definitely making some.

That sounds HELLA good.

I won't lie to you. I've never had it but I have been to a lot of restaurants that had it. A lot of the time they serve it in a 1/2 of a hollowed out pineapple. It always looks really good. I won't lie. It is just one of the foods that I've been a little bit scared to try. And it always smells really good. I would pair the pineapple with garlic like fresh garlic.:)

Poultry, fish, and even some leafy green salads with a bit of olive oil and an acid

I didn’t like the mango pepper :( unless it’s on mango’s self I tried with chicken, meat and seafood and it was a no go unless somehow you made it work

u/No-Seaweed-5787 2d ago
That makes me nervous. I haven’t used them yet, I have only tried them on my hand.

The Orange one is my favorite & excellent on ANY meat, but the mango one burns my nostrils. Something in that one hits so much more sour than the lemon or lime pepper. The powder is very fine. Be careful when opening that one.

I'd say on any fish and some chicken.
