Seasoned salt

Seasoned salt

Seasoned salt is a blend of table salt, herbs, spices, other flavourings, and sometimes monosodium glutamate (MSG). It is sold in supermarkets and is commonly used in fish and chip shops and other take-away food shops. It is also known as seasoning salt, season salt, chip spice and in Australia and New Zealand, chicken salt.

Chip Spice is also another variation, which originated in Kingston Upon Hull and mainly contains; Salt, spices (such as paprika) but also tomato powder. This is the main seasoning in Hull take-aways and best accompanies chips, burgers and pizza.

Seasoned salt is often the standard seasoning on foods such as chicken, hot chips and deep fried seafood, or potatoes.[1] Most take-away shops also offer the option of normal salt.

Chicken salt, as sold in Australia and New Zealand, generally contains chicken extracts, which are listed as the second ingredient after salt. It is therefore not suitable for strict vegetarians. However, some flavoured salts sold as chicken salt do not contain chicken extracts or concentrates. It is not related to the chicken flavouring or seasoning that is found on potato crisps, although it can be similar in appearance (both have a slight yellow colouring).

Ingredients

The ingredients vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Aside from salt, most contain some or all of the following.
