Why use homemade seasoning?

Why not DIY? Anything homemade is always better produced than store-bought, especially when it comes to food. Homemade seasonings are better because:

• They do not include preservatives
• You can control the level of spicy ingredients
•  You can monitor the amount of salt added
• Are cheaper than store-bought seasonings
• You can prepare a big batch in a few minutes
• You will never end up out-of-stock

What flavors does this chicken seasoning recipe comprise?

4 main categories: herbs, spices, garlic, and onion.

Herbs: some herbs pair well with chicken such as thyme, basil, rosemary, and parsley.

Spices: Some spices are meant to boost the chicken taste and take the dish to another level.

Garlic and onion: I do not remember cooking chicken once without these two ingredients. Apart from adjusting the smell of the dish, they serve as perfect enhancers of the flavor.

How to season chicken?

First, let’s agree on the amount of seasoning you will need. As a rule of thumb, you will need a tablespoon of chicken seasoning for each half KG of chicken. Don’t go for less and don’t go for more.

• Pat your chicken dry with a paper towel.
• Lightly rub the chicken with olive oil
• Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the chicken from all sides, in and out.
• Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for 1 hour at least.
• If you are using chicken with skin, use a flipped tablespoon to lift the skin gently and rub the chicken under the skin with the seasoning.

How to store chicken seasoning?

The chicken seasoning must be stored in an air-tight container or bag. The most important part is to store the seasoning in a cool dry place. A spice drawer or spice cupboard is the right place.

If you want to prepare a range of seasonings at home like me, then make sure to label each jar with the name of the seasoning it includes.
