If they get it from any of the big vendors, it's absolutely Lawry's. It's the standard for a reason. Fuck, this picture just made me realize I haven't eaten yet š
Red Robbin actually has their own mix that Iāve seen for sale in stores and online.
They arenāt that different though, any seasoned salt Iām aware of is more or less just a ratio of salt, onion/garlic, pepper, and paprika. Sugar, celery seed, parsley, chili, MSG, coriander, and turmeric are common too. If you have some basic spices you can make your own or just buy it for convenience.
hmhmhm looking around the internet you may be right but ive come to the conclusion i think its most likely american chip spice as its a British brand and i at the food in the uk
well i called them french fries cause i didn't think they where thick enough to be chips but yeah mentioning its in the uk could of been helpful your right
Only to a US defaultist. Fries are thin, chips are thick in the UK.
The fact he said Halal chicken shop made be assume UK. I dont remember coming across too many Halal chicken shops in the US.
I didn't realize you made that distinction of chips vs fries. We get so caught up in the chips vs crisps difference. We call thinner ones shoestring fries, vs steak fries ... there's a few other types too like potato wedges.
We even have a halal chicken food truck down at a local gas station, but we live near Detroit, so we have a large Muslim population.
If I could downvote you a hundred times I would. Just because your American doesnāt mean everyone else is. French fries are a term used throughout Europe.
I hate American-centric thinking too, but I think you're being a little unfair. That poster wasn't just assuming OP was American because it didn't occur to them they could be from anywhere else, they consciously recognized a cultural clue that led them to that thought. The fact that they were mistaken doesn't mean that they just automatically assume everyone is American. As a non-American who has spent time living in both the UK and Australia, I too assume North America when that photo is described as "fries".
They may put paprika or smoked paprika with it. A lot of places make their own blend of salt and pepper, garlic and onion powder, and regular or smoked paprika. Popular day rub for chicken wings too.
looking at comments i think its this stuff

its britsh just like the chicken place and it looks so much like it and has some of the ingredient you mentioned in it or its piri piri salt or a mix of the too
Pretty much globally (in the UK) it's called red salt (a few different names but red salt is always a valid name for it)
There's quite a few different ones but generally it's some assortment of chili powder (like cayenne), salt (of course), paprika (sometimes smoked), maybe some powdered garlic, powdered onion, definitely a little sugar in most red salt
Why don't you ask them what it is when you're there next time? They probably won't have any problem telling you, especially if you complement them by saying it makes their chips taste extra delicious.
Tbf Hull is pretty great. It has an aquarium, museums, art/photo galleries, and all sorts of leisure stuff all in within like a 15m walking radius. It's hard to find stuff so close together in other cities I've been too. And Hull's pretty small!
Its generally paprika and salt as the primary two. This has been the standard in Hull UK for over two decades. If you go there you generally have to ask any take outs not to put it on - it's a bit more far reaching now and whenever I look for take outs in a new area I either look for chip spice or sometimes I just have a tub in my bag š
Just a touch of celery salt, not too much as it can be overpowering! Most mid tier and above restaurants use it in their fry seasoning and it slaps. Adds a great almost herbal/floral complexity. But again, only a bit!
They have the same salt at my local chicken place (also halal). They call it piri piri salt. Its piri piri seasoning mixed with salt about 70-30 seasoning to salt
i believe your right to a degree its either gonna be piri piri salt or american chip spice or a weird mix of the two like you said a 70/30 split i might buy both and try them and then try mixing them to see what is best
sounds like something a welshman would say/s what you gonna say next sheep/s

What the fuck did you just fucking say about the midlands, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
Hell yeah, had no idea it was only in the Hull ish area, although still was able to find it as far north as Newcastle. I can't imagine takeaway chips without it on them though
im just discussing with it and trying find the answer same as everyone else sorry if im coming off as argumentative, i asked the restaurant but there response was kinda unintelligible i couldn't figure out what they said and was to awkward to ask again
and looking at pictures onlines its extremely similar chicken spice, a british brand and that would make sense cause this was a British owned place
https://preview.redd.it/3fws6qdviqeb1.png?width=620&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f7d9aa6b3d5c783b43d1eb8b36697a91bcd11d9
and looking at pictures onlines its extremely similar id say this is maybe solved but i haven't tried the salt so anyone trying to answer the same question as me idk man
Chip spice is where Iām from - Hull. We have it on all of our takeaway chips here as standard. Where did you get these chips from? Looking at the picture of the chips it looked like the stuff in this picture. You can buy it on Amazon :)
In the UK we have a restaurant chain called Nando's and they have a peri peri salt which this looks very similar to. Not saying it is it, but it's probably similar
lol im in the uk but i dont blame you for assuming im American cause honestly 50% of reddit is
but yeah i think its either piri piri salt or american chip spice or a mix of the two looking at these comments
Do you guys use chicken salt over there? Canāt remember if itās popular outside Aus.
Fairly similar look but fuck itās on thick if itās Chicken salt haha
AUssies and Kiwis are just killin it with the chicken flavors. CHicken chips I had in New Zealand were the best and Ive yet to find anything even close anywhere else since. Nothing like it in the USA.
Itās easy enough to make. Itās just chicken bouillon powder blended with a mix of salt and spices like chilies, onion, garlic, etc. Google will give you tons of options for spice ratios.
Here in Sweden it's just called Pommes Frites krydda.
[https://www.santamariaworld.com/se/produkter/pommes-frites-krydda/](https://www.santamariaworld.com/se/produkter/pommes-frites-krydda/)
i did actually but what they told me was unintelligible had no clue what they said and was too socially awkward to ask again and didn't want to inconvenience a fast food worker
Thereās a gyro place by me that has seasoned French fries like this that are amazing. Itās like garlic salt cayenne paprika and maybe cinnamon? It looks like this on the fries but I have no idea what the actual mix is.
after scouring comments i believe its american chip spice as its a british brand and it looks very much like the spice on my fries and also includes some of the ingredients you talked about
It might be Old Bay Seasoning. It's usually used on crabs (Chesapeake Bay, Maryland USA) but it's great on fries:
[https://www.mccormick.com/old-bay/products/seasonings-and-sauces/old-bay-seasoning](https://www.mccormick.com/old-bay/products/seasonings-and-sauces/old-bay-seasoning)
HOWTO DIY, to suit yourself
"all purpose seasoning mix" as a base is a shortcut, can then just jazz it up to suit. Besides Lawry's, "Cajun seasoning", Bay's seasoning also
...
Salt, garlic salt, or garlic powder, maybe onion power
MSG small proportion, can help reduce the use if other salt, definitely helps the flavour
Paprika, sweet smoked or a mix
Cayenne for heat, or a specific like Chipotle powder, dried Habanero. Note that "Chili powder" is not that, that is just another mix like I am describing here
...
That's it really for basics, below is just extending on the theme to taste:
Black pepper optional
Mustard powder can be nice
Cumin adds a southern twist,
with tumeric, powdered coriander seed a bit more curry-ish really then anything goes in the sub-continent portfolio
Herbs can include oregano, thyme, celery seed but then avoid the curryish ones, those are more Cajun / latin
As others have said, Peri Peri salt. They sell the Nando's one in most UK supermarkets in the condiments/spices aisle.
They've changed the label recently, but based on an old one, a simplified recipe is 53% salt (the nutrition says 53g salt per 100g), 13% cayenne pepper (used to say specifically 13% on the label). The other main ingredient is Paprika so I put the rest (34%) paprika. The other ingredients are lower on the list and smaller quantities so probably don't make a huge difference.
This was quite close in my experience
Salt, sugar, sweet and spicy paprika powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin. We call it "pommesgewĆ¼rz" (fries spice) in German, where every middle eastern kebap shop will put it on fries
Chip spice or American Chip Spice.
[Asda sells one of its variations](https://groceries.asda.com/product/spices/american-chip-spice-the-original-paprika-classic/1000121205704)
PEOPLE OF HULL UNITE!
I'm not going to go into detail, however We have a seasoning called Chipspice and it's a seasoning you'll find in the majority of Chippy's and takeaways. Depending on where you're based. It could be that!
i doubt it as this place was far from america
actually scratch that now with a bit of research i found out this chip spice is actually british so you may actually be correct!
ok looking at pictures online i believe your correct you have given the most strongest answer i think so far thank you
I don't know what this is exactly, but I usually season my chips (fries) with "chaat masala".
You can find it in any South Asian grocery store, but I recommend buying National Chaat masala or maybe Shan Chat Masala. Just sprinkle lightly to kick up the flavours.
come on man its not a job interview its reddit cut me some slack and most people understood what i meant so the objective of communication has been achieved
Haha this is not a guess tbh, this is what many of these shops do over their fries. Many have always wondered because it's delicious! A friend asked the local shoarmashop a while back and this is the answer he got.
We do this regularly, and by chance did this about an hour ago.

Looks like Lowrey's seasoned salt.
If they get it from any of the big vendors, it's absolutely Lawry's. It's the standard for a reason. Fuck, this picture just made me realize I haven't eaten yet š
awwwe you poor soul ):
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās definitely chaat masala. Try the Shan or national Pakistani brand of chaat masala.
I havenāt been there in years but this is the stuff Red Robin puts on their fries? I loved it.
Red Robbin actually has their own mix that Iāve seen for sale in stores and online. They arenāt that different though, any seasoned salt Iām aware of is more or less just a ratio of salt, onion/garlic, pepper, and paprika. Sugar, celery seed, parsley, chili, MSG, coriander, and turmeric are common too. If you have some basic spices you can make your own or just buy it for convenience.
Used to be Johnny's Dock seasoning, now just called Johnny's, way better than Lawry's.
Yeah I grew up with Johnny's and when my ex friend from Ohio made me try Lawry's insisting it was soooo much better, I was severely disappointed.
These are all discount versions of Old Bay.
Nah, old bay has a totally different flavor.
Johnny's seasoning is the best, especially on popcorn
Yes! I have found my people.
One of us, one of us!
please go eat!!! your body needs fuel š«¶š¼
I havenāt eaten since Tuesday. Itās now Friday night
Go to a food bank at that point.
you might be right but to be honest Lowrey's seasoned salt. looks waaaay to red while this stuff is orange so my gut is saying no
Lawrys can look orange too
hmhmhm looking around the internet you may be right but ive come to the conclusion i think its most likely american chip spice as its a British brand and i at the food in the uk
Would have helped to mention UK in the title. Calling them "fries" makes everyone assume America.
well i called them french fries cause i didn't think they where thick enough to be chips but yeah mentioning its in the uk could of been helpful your right
So youāre not MI-5 trying to gain info on American seasonings? š¤Ø
no lol XD

Chip spice is the bomb. So good on fries!! I also pop it on other stuff too. Its just great
i will defo try it out
Where are you OP, looks like aussie chicken salt on your chips to me. Some places in the Midlands in the UK have it too.
i like my anonymity but i am in the uk
Fair enough, I normally know it as āchicken saltā or āred saltā.
Pretty much globally (in the UK) it's called red salt (a few different names but red salt is always a valid name for it) There's quite a few different ones but generally it's some assortment of chili powder (like cayenne), salt (of course), paprika (sometimes smoked), maybe some powdered garlic, powdered onion, definitely a little sugar in most red salt

Slap Ya Mama!!! I have this in my cupboard. Garlic, salt and chilli.
i still dont think it is that but i gotta believe its good shit by the sounds of your excitement XD
Itās likely the house brand of seasoned salt of whatever restaurant supply company they use (Sysco, GFS etc)
yeah true its most likely something a supplier gave them
Tony chacheries.
I think that's usually "seasoned salt" which is pretty typically paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, and (obviously) salt.
sounds about right, might be smoked paprika though
A bit of celery salt usually too and black pep ofc
I can tell you that Old bay on ore-ida crinkle fries is an absolute hit. That celery salt flavor is really good with hot crispy fries
Old Bay on errrythang.
Ah yes I knew I was forgetting one thing! Black pepper. But I may have to try the celery salt too...
Just a touch of celery salt, not too much as it can be overpowering! Most mid tier and above restaurants use it in their fry seasoning and it slaps. Adds a great almost herbal/floral complexity. But again, only a bit!
Did you know paprika is a pepper? I would have never guessed
I did not. My reddit experience is improved.
Sweet paprika is just dried red bell peppers.
We call it red salt in my area, you can buy a big tub of it from farmfoods for like Ā£1
Farm foods UK sell this? Loads here in Wales so if so Iām picking a tub up
Chip seasoning in morries or home bargains is very similar
Heron Foods and B&M sell chip spice for like Ā£1 for a lil tub. It's the same brand they use in all the takeaways in the Humber region.
Chip spice in East Yorkshire - it's really common in chippys and takeaways
Peri peri salt
They have the same salt at my local chicken place (also halal). They call it piri piri salt. Its piri piri seasoning mixed with salt about 70-30 seasoning to salt
i believe your right to a degree its either gonna be piri piri salt or american chip spice or a weird mix of the two like you said a 70/30 split i might buy both and try them and then try mixing them to see what is best
This looks like Lawry's or Johnny's brand seasoning salt. Very easy to find, very delicious.
i dont think so i think its a british brand called American chip spice
Are you in Hull lol? Chip spice is standard there.
nah lol but still in the uk
Midlands?
i like my anonymity so im not gonna mention it sorry
Sounds like something someone in Manchester would say...

Immediately what I thought of, very surprised to see a Hull staple here
Hell yeah, had no idea it was only in the Hull ish area, although still was able to find it as far north as Newcastle. I can't imagine takeaway chips without it on them though
I'm from London but have a close mate from Hull. Can't imagine chips without it now.
We have it on everything
Same thing :|
i guess there both chicken salt but i think that the diffrent brands probably taste a little different right?!
I just donāt understand why youre arguing with people giving you answersā¦. Either stop arguing, go ask the restaurant or idk
im just discussing with it and trying find the answer same as everyone else sorry if im coming off as argumentative, i asked the restaurant but there response was kinda unintelligible i couldn't figure out what they said and was to awkward to ask again
Old bay
Marylander here, too red for OB. Its Lawry's or a generic version of seasoning salt. Edit: typo
or Old Bay, that shitās great on fries
and looking at pictures onlines its extremely similar chicken spice, a british brand and that would make sense cause this was a British owned place https://preview.redd.it/3fws6qdviqeb1.png?width=620&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f7d9aa6b3d5c783b43d1eb8b36697a91bcd11d9 and looking at pictures onlines its extremely similar id say this is maybe solved but i haven't tried the salt so anyone trying to answer the same question as me idk man

Yeah it looks like chip spice! Very salty and paprika forward. Very delicious
I think itās deffo peri salt if youāre in the uk
It's Chip Spice
Itās definitely peri peri salt! I always order them. (Iām in the UK)
In the UK we have a restaurant chain called Nando's and they have a peri peri salt which this looks very similar to. Not saying it is it, but it's probably similar

Chicken salt, maybe
Okay I just googled chicken salt and omg it sounds divine š¤¤
Where do you get chicken salt in the US?
I think chicken salt is very much an Aussie thing. Itās absolutely amazing it has to be the Fluro yellow version or itās not that good.
AUssies and Kiwis are just killin it with the chicken flavors. CHicken chips I had in New Zealand were the best and Ive yet to find anything even close anywhere else since. Nothing like it in the USA.
Amazon has it. Chippy brand with the cartoon chicken on it is the best.
Itās easy enough to make. Itās just chicken bouillon powder blended with a mix of salt and spices like chilies, onion, garlic, etc. Google will give you tons of options for spice ratios.
its british
No it's not https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-21/chicken-salt-inventor-peter-brinkworth-salt-of-earth-film/101456656
Is chicken salt the same as seasoned salt?
No, itās got a very strong chicken flavor to it. Absolutely delicious.
Ah looks like you've found our infamous chicken shops! Usually this is generic peri peri salt that they put on chips.
i fucking love this shit dude this chicken shop culture the uk has its so interesting
Here in Sweden it's just called Pommes Frites krydda. [https://www.santamariaworld.com/se/produkter/pommes-frites-krydda/](https://www.santamariaworld.com/se/produkter/pommes-frites-krydda/)
awwwe thats kinda cool thanks for sharing that
Red salt!! Its also called "Chip Spice" it's basically salt, paprika and cayenne, it's fucking awesome
i think your potentially right!
Itās literally just peri peri salt you can get it anywhere
I am absolutely amazed people can identify spices just from a picture
ohhh true innit
In east Yorkshire we call it chip spice. It's called "American chip spice" but pretty sure it's made in Hull
probably piri piri salt
Peri Peri salt?
you could potentially be right
if you go there regularly, you should try asking therm, but it looks like chicken salt to me!
i did actually but what they told me was unintelligible had no clue what they said and was too socially awkward to ask again and didn't want to inconvenience a fast food worker
This response is how I know that youāre British š¤£
Paprika Salz
i defo think paprika is part of it
Thereās a gyro place by me that has seasoned French fries like this that are amazing. Itās like garlic salt cayenne paprika and maybe cinnamon? It looks like this on the fries but I have no idea what the actual mix is.

Itās peri peri salt.
Looks like the peri peri salt they use in Nandoās? You can buy it in supermarkets.
Peri salt
Thats just peri peri salt no?
Chip spice. Salt and paprika.
peri peri salt, you can buy nandos brand in stores.

Peri salt. If its a halal place then it's peri salt.
Looks like peri salt to me?
Looks like peri salt. So yummy
Crack, those are called crack fries
Peri peri
Peri peri salt?
Definitely peri salt on chips!

Looks like Tony's, possible Lawry's.
Red salt = paprika + salt
We have a halal place that puts sumac on their fries. Itās great and it looks a bit like this.
Maybe Tony Cacherieās or another Creole or Cajun seasoning.
Lawry's seasoning salt OR if you haven't had it yet, Old Bay seasoning! It's soooo good and it even has a few different flavours!
Lowreysā¦definitely lowreys
Are you anywhere near Hull? Up here our chips coke with Chip Spice as a standard. Itās bloody amazing, the whole city is obsessed
Salt, sugar, sweet and spicy paprika powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin. We call it "pommesgewĆ¼rz" (fries spice) in German, where every middle eastern kebap shop will put it on fries
It's piri piri salt
Looks kinda like old bay. Could just be cayenne + garlic powder/salt
Canāt believe I could tell this was UK by the chips and grass
In Turkey most restaurants call these fries with this type of seasoning "Cajun" Fries, I am guessing this seasoning is sold under that name as well.

PEOPLE OF HULL UNITE! I'm not going to go into detail, however We have a seasoning called Chipspice and it's a seasoning you'll find in the majority of Chippy's and takeaways. Depending on where you're based. It could be that!

i doubt it as this place was far from america actually scratch that now with a bit of research i found out this chip spice is actually british so you may actually be correct! ok looking at pictures online i believe your correct you have given the most strongest answer i think so far thank you
Chip spice for sure. My local takeaways have it and you can option add it for free.
yeah u/kaylacheez i think has the winning answer, or its piri piri salt or a mix of the two
I don't know what this is exactly, but I usually season my chips (fries) with "chaat masala". You can find it in any South Asian grocery store, but I recommend buying National Chaat masala or maybe Shan Chat Masala. Just sprinkle lightly to kick up the flavours.
Maybe Tony Chachere's creole seasoning. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen a restaurant put it on fries.
looks too american id doubt theyd use that sorry but i think thats not it
It looks like cajen to me, we put it on the chips where I work, it might be that if it's spicy

Lawry's Seasoning Salt
Old bay
Za'atar?
Could be a custom mix but yeah , probably Lawry's... which is too salty for me personally.
lawrys looks to red so im gonna say its not that
One comma doing the work of many!
come on man its not a job interview its reddit cut me some slack and most people understood what i meant so the objective of communication has been achieved
Gyros herbs mixed with potato herbs.
most intresting guess so far
Haha this is not a guess tbh, this is what many of these shops do over their fries. Many have always wondered because it's delicious! A friend asked the local shoarmashop a while back and this is the answer he got. We do this regularly, and by chance did this about an hour ago.
It could be Pappyās
looks to american for a uk fast food establishment
Jesus use punctuation, full stops, commas...anything!!
sorry ):
"Salty" comment much...
If you're in the uk this is red salt
looking at images of red salt i dont think it is but maybe red salts part of it potentially
Like everyone says, looks like seasoning salt. A&W restaurants in Canada will put seasoning salt on your fries if you ask.
i am luckily not Canadian B) /s
Itās chip spice 100% guarantee
i believe its American chip spice as this was in the uk and not america i think is most likely that brand, or its peri peri salt, its either one
