Recipes for Winner Winner Chicken Dinner - Suddenly Everybody’s Hungry for Chicken (and more)


Chicken gets blamed for being boring when the truth is simpler: most folks season it like they’ve given up. The Winner Winner Chicken Dinner Kit from Tradition Spice Company fixes that in a hurry. You get three hard-working blends that cover savory, citrusy, and bright flavor without making supper complicated: Zesty Chicken Da Best! Poultry Seasoning, Lemony Pepper Da Best! Lemon Pepper, and Sublime Lime Da Best! Lime Pepper. They shine on chicken, sure, but they also wake up salmon, pork, shrimp, and even a cold salad when dinner needs a little backbone. If you want a kit that earns its cabinet space instead of just sitting there looking decorative, this one is it.

What's Inside the Winner Winner Chicken Dinner Kit

3 Bottles

  • Zesty Chicken Da Best! Poultry Seasoning
  • Lemony Pepper Da Best! Lemon Pepper
  • Sublime Lime Da Best! Lime Pepper

Now let's put those three bottles to work. These six recipes prove the point: you do not need a spice cabinet the size of a hay loft to turn out food people remember.

Crispy Zesty Chicken Thighs with Roasted Potatoes and Green Beans

Serves 4

This is the sort of supper that makes a regular Tuesday act like Sunday dinner. Zesty Chicken brings the savory backbone, the chicken skin turns golden and crisp, and the potatoes soak up every bit of good sense in the pan.

Ingredients

From the Kit
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Zesty Chicken Da Best! Poultry Seasoning
Everything Else
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 12 ounces green beans, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, optional

Directions

1

Heat the oven. Set the oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan if you want easier cleanup.

2

Season the chicken. Pat the chicken dry, rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and coat with Zesty Chicken seasoning.

3

Start the potatoes. Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil and the salt. Spread them on the pan and roast for 15 minutes.

4

Add the rest. Push the potatoes to the sides, place the chicken in the center, and toss the green beans with the remaining tablespoon of oil before adding them to the pan.

5

Roast until crisp. Cook 30 to 35 minutes more, until the chicken reaches 175°F and the skin is browned and crisp.

6

Serve hot. Scatter parsley over the top if using and bring the whole pan straight to the table.

If folks go quiet after the first bite, don't panic. That's just dinner doing its job.

Lemony Pepper Salmon with Roasted Asparagus

Serves 4

Chicken may be in the kit name, but Lemony Pepper has no problem wandering off the trail. On salmon, it turns into that bright, buttery, peppery thing that makes people think you tried harder than you did.

Ingredients

From the Kit
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Lemony Pepper Da Best! Lemon Pepper
Everything Else
  • 4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Directions

1

Heat the oven. Set the oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with parchment if desired.

2

Season the salmon. Rub the salmon with 1 tablespoon olive oil and coat evenly with Lemony Pepper.

3

Prep the asparagus. Toss asparagus with the remaining olive oil and half a teaspoon of the seasoning if you want the whole plate singing the same tune.

4

Roast. Arrange salmon and asparagus on the pan. Roast 10 to 14 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon flakes easily.

5

Finish with lemon. Squeeze fresh lemon over everything just before serving.

It's clean, bright, and fast enough to make takeout look like poor planning.

Sublime Lime Shrimp Tacos with Cilantro Slaw

Serves 4

If you need one meal to wake up the whole table, this is it. Sublime Lime lands on shrimp the way a good song lands on a Friday evening: bright, lively, and gone too soon.

Ingredients

From the Kit
  • 1 tablespoon Sublime Lime Da Best! Lime Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Lemony Pepper Da Best! Lemon Pepper
Everything Else
  • 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage mix
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Lime wedges for serving

Directions

1

Season the shrimp. Toss shrimp with 1 tablespoon olive oil, Sublime Lime, and Lemony Pepper.

2

Make the slaw. Stir together cabbage, cilantro, mayonnaise, lime juice, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

3

Cook the shrimp. Sear in a hot skillet for 1 to 2 minutes per side, just until pink and lightly charred.

4

Warm the tortillas. Heat them in a dry skillet or directly over a flame for a few seconds per side.

5

Build the tacos. Fill each tortilla with slaw, shrimp, and extra cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Make a double batch if you've invited people. Otherwise somebody's leaving with feelings.

One-Pan Zesty Chicken and Rice Skillet

Serves 4 to 5

This is the weeknight hero: one pan, hardly any drama, and supper tastes like you had a plan all along. Zesty Chicken handles the bird, and a little Lemony Pepper perks up the rice so it doesn't sit there like filler.

Ingredients

From the Kit
  • 1 tablespoon Zesty Chicken Da Best! Poultry Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Lemony Pepper Da Best! Lemon Pepper
Everything Else
  • 1 1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut in chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 2 1/4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or cilantro

Directions

1

Season the chicken. Toss the chicken with Zesty Chicken seasoning.

2

Brown it first. Heat olive oil in a deep skillet and cook the chicken until golden on the outside. Remove to a plate.

3

Build the base. In the same pan, cook onion until soft, then add garlic and rice. Stir for 1 minute.

4

Add the liquid. Pour in the broth and stir in Lemony Pepper. Return the chicken to the pan.

5

Cover and simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 18 to 20 minutes until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.

6

Finish fresh. Fluff with a fork and sprinkle herbs over the top before serving.

This is the kind of dinner that makes people assume you have your life more together than you really do.

Lemony Pepper Pork Chops with Green Beans

Serves 4

Here is your proof that this kit isn't a one-trick pony. Lemony Pepper cuts through pork beautifully, adding citrus and cracked-pepper bite without needing a whole speech about it.

Ingredients

From the Kit
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Lemony Pepper Da Best! Lemon Pepper
Everything Else
  • 4 boneless pork chops, about 1 inch thick
  • 12 ounces green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Directions

1

Season the pork. Rub the chops with 1 tablespoon olive oil and coat both sides with Lemony Pepper.

2

Sear. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the pork chops 4 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until cooked through. Remove and rest.

3

Cook the beans. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and the green beans. Cook until crisp-tender.

4

Finish rich. Stir in the butter and toss the beans in the pan drippings.

5

Serve. Plate the chops with the beans and a squeeze of fresh lemon.

Pork chops have spent years getting treated like a backup plan. This fixes that nonsense.

Sublime Lime Charred Corn and Black Bean Salad

Serves 6 as a side

Every kit needs one recipe that proves it can show up to the cookout without touching the grill. Sublime Lime gives this corn and black bean salad a tangy kick that wakes up the whole bowl.

Ingredients

From the Kit
  • 1 teaspoon Sublime Lime Da Best! Lime Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Lemony Pepper Da Best! Lemon Pepper
Everything Else
  • 3 cups corn kernels, fresh or thawed frozen
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Directions

1

Char the corn. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the corn until lightly charred in spots.

2

Cool slightly. Let the corn sit a few minutes so the avocado doesn't get bullied by the heat.

3

Mix the salad. Combine the charred corn, black beans, avocado, red onion, and cilantro in a bowl.

4

Season and finish. Sprinkle in Sublime Lime and Lemony Pepper, then toss with lime juice.

5

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Great beside grilled meat, tacos, or a pile of tortilla chips.

Set this on the picnic table and watch it disappear right after somebody says, “I’m just having a little spoonful.”

Three Bottles, Plenty of Supper

The beauty of the Winner Winner Chicken Dinner Kit is that it doesn't pretend to be everything. It just does the important jobs really well. Zesty Chicken handles savory roasted comfort, Lemony Pepper brings bright peppery bite, and Sublime Lime wakes up anything that needs a little sunshine.

This is the sort of kit that makes a smart gift because it feels useful right away. It fits weeknight cooks, new homeowners, college graduates, Father's Day grillers, Mother's Day meal-makers, and just about anybody who wants dinner to taste better without turning the kitchen into a science experiment. Three bottles, six easy ideas, and a whole lot fewer bland suppers. That sounds like a pretty fair deal.

FAQs

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Because the existential dread of staying on this side was temporarily outweighed by the illusion of purpose on the other side.  Deep huh?

What is the most common chicken recipe?

By far, a simple roasted chicken.  We recommend some Zesty Chicken seasoning to give it that unforgettable flavor.

Why don't chickens fly?

Actually, they do fly.  Just in short bursts.  How do you think they get up on a roost, silly? But with small wings and heavy bodies they don't fly for long.
