I use House Autry breading and can attest to this. I tried to add Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning once. It was almost too salty to eat. Never again.

Your mileage may vary, but I've found some really wonderful "copycat" recipes online for seasoning blends. I started by searching to replace that packet of Taco meat seasoning I'd always used, and the home made was so much better.

Hint: invest in some food grade Silica Gel packets. Packaged breading mix, seasoning mix, all have a nasty chemical blend to keep them from "caking". Put a packet in the jar, this will work to keep the material free flowing and fresh.

As for raw materials, I like Penzy's Spices and also Hmart korean grocery.
