The Surprising Ingredient Chrissy Teigen Loves To Add To Her Dishes

Chrissy Teigen's resume is pretty impressive: mom, model, television host, Cravings cookbook author, wife to John Legend, influencer, actress — and the list goes on. She is pretty amazing, and luckily, she is willing to share her culinary tips, tricks, and know-how with her fans. Teigen even let us in on a surprising ingredient both she and her husband, who also knows his way around the kitchen, love to use to give their meals and snacks what Carrie Bradshaw would probably call the "zsa zsa zsu" you feel when you sink your teeth into that first bite. Teigen and Legend's special ingredient: Lawry's seasoned salt. 

Teigen's husband uses this seasoning in his mac and cheese and in the brine and breading of his fried chicken, while she is a little more liberal in her use. You can find the supermodel dusting Lawry's seasoned salt over favored fruits like pineapple and honeydew melon, sprinkling it into a glass of cold beer, and even ameliorating her husband's chili recipe, which she included in her own cookbook, by adding the salty mixture. Teigen explained, "John's always had this chili recipe in his family, and it's a great chili, but to me, it's a little boring, so I was like, 'I'm going to need you to jazz it up. We started putting Lawry's in it, and putting it on top of Fritos for a Frito Pie, which is so nice."  Frito pie and chili with a little bit of Lawry's? Yes please (via Delish).
