Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt Enhances all other flavors; use kosher salt for a coarser texture.
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper Freshly ground offers the best flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika Choose sweet or smoked based on your preference.
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper Optional; adjust for spiciness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients thoroughly, mixing well to ensure even distribution.
  2. Store the seasoning blend in an airtight container to maintain freshness and potency. It will keep well for several months.
  3. Use generously on chicken breasts, thighs, or drumsticks, or even a whole rotisserie chicken before cooking.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate your chicken with the seasoning for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight. You can adjust the cayenne pepper based on your taste preference and use fresh herbs for brighter flavors.
