New Orleans-based Zatarain’s (zatarains.com) adds a Blackened Seasoned Chicken flavor to its fully cooked Smoked Sausage collection. Inspired by a classic Cajun dish, the gluten-free newcomer is made with 100% antibiotic-free chicken and no artificial colors or flavors, animal byproducts or MSG. It’s seasoned with a variety of bold spices and can be used to create iconic New Orleans dishes such as jambalaya, red beans and rice, and gumbo. Sold refrigerated, each 14-ounce package (10 per case) carries a $4.99 SRP.
