Woolworths Southern fried chicken spices

First stop: The American South for Southern fried chicken wings

Anything but ordinary, the secret to these chicken wings is in the perfectly crispy crumb thanks to Woolworths' Southern fry coating, complemented by just the right amount of kick and a hint of smoky sweetness from Woolworths' piri-piri chilli seasoning.

Second stop: Mexico for spicy nachos

Taking inspiration from south of the American border, we’re enjoying nachos, bringing the heat with a symphony of cumin, chilli powder and paprika, among other spice pantry staples, with the addition of Woolworths' smoked chilli seasoning.

Third stop: Spain for aromatic paella

Picture yourself on the sun-soaked shores of Spain. Woolworths' everyday range allows for an overlap of pantry staples with the addition of saffron threads that weave their golden magic through perfectly seasoned rice, creating paella’s signature flavour. Add Cajun seasoning for an unexpected but completely necessary flavour addition.
