  1. Carefully measure out all of your dry spices, ensuring there are no large clumps in your garlic or onion powder before adding them to your prep station.
  2. Transfer the measured salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, celery seed, sugar, paprika, MSG, oregano, and cayenne pepper into a small, clean mixing bowl.
  3. Use a small wire whisk or a fork to thoroughly blend the ingredients together until the color is completely uniform and no pockets of individual spices remain.
