Homemade Salt and Pepper seasoning, and Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings

This recipe has been on my to-do list for ages, and I'm so glad I finally came round to making it just in time for CNY this year. 

Any salt and pepper dish is a crowd favourite.  This homemade S&P seasoning guarantees that you can always make your own, quick and easy S&P dish in a jiffy. 

It is very easy and simple, and you can make a substantial batch to keep.  It is also a great dry rub for meats, or just add to any soy sauce based, braised meat dish for that extra depth of taste.  My favourite way - sprinkle it liberally on pan fried chicken wings for a super tasty, Salt and Pepper Wings.  This is definitely one recipe that ranks high up there on my "truly fuss-free recipes".
