That McCormick's Montreal Chicken Seasoning is awesome. Add some white wine vinegar and olive oil to it and you've got some lip-smackin' oven-baked chicken in no time flat.

What I have at the house...

Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning
Pepper
Crushed Red Pepper - I dont buy it, I just take an obnoxiously large handful whenever I walk by the campus Pizza Hut.

You have a lot of really good ideas here, but I'd just like to add that, not knowing how you like your food (spicy or mild, for example), it's kinda hard to make many suggestions.

While I tend to agree with using sea salt & peppercorns & grinding them yourself, a novice cook could usually go to someplace like Bed, Bath, and Beyond or Sonoma-Williams, and pick up a small shaker that has about 6-8 different spices in it. Figure out what you like, and then get the larger versions. Some spices (like one of my favorite, saffron) are terribly expensive!

Lifesaver, check out grilllovers.com. They have rubs on there made by Oklahoma Joe. Thats what I use for all my turkeys and chickens that I deep fry. I might use his stuff on my bbq too, you never can tell........

Tony Chachere sp? I use alot at home (take some creole seasoning, mix heavy with creame cheese, stuff in a jalepeno pepper and slap that baby on the grill........) I also use alot of oregeno, garlic, blackening seasoning, cayene, white pepper, crushed black pepper and sea salt. Just really about anything I can get my hands on.

ACK!!! Some spices' shelf life is MUCH too short to do this! It may be all well and good to have them, but buy the smallest possible jar so you get the REAL taste of the spice!!

[B]The Cliff Note version of spices:
salt, pepper, onion powder, italian seasonings (it should say this on the bottle), and garlic powder, and lemon pepper.

I totally agree with this list. I would add season salt too, just because it has many uses.
