Ingredients
Scale
Main Herbs:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) dried basil
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) dried thyme
Spices:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) onion powder
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) paprika
Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) salt
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) black pepper
Instructions
- Gather all dried herbs and spices in a compact mixing vessel, ensuring a clean and dry work surface.
- Methodically sprinkle oregano, basil, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper into the container.
- Utilize a small whisk or spoon to thoroughly integrate the seasonings, creating a uniform blend with consistent color and texture.
- Crush any potential clumps gently to maintain a smooth, even mixture that will distribute evenly when applied to chicken.
- Transfer the seasoning blend to an airtight glass jar or sealed container, ensuring it remains in a cool, dark pantry space to preserve potency.
- Label the container with the blend’s name and preparation date, allowing for easy tracking and optimal flavor preservation.
- The homemade Greek chicken seasoning can be used immediately for marinades, rubs, or as a direct sprinkle on poultry before roasting, grilling, or baking.
- For maximum flavor retention, consume the seasoning blend within 3-4 months of preparation, as dried herbs gradually lose their aromatic intensity over time.
Notes
- Customize the blend by adjusting spice ratios to suit personal taste preferences, creating a signature seasoning mix.
- Use fresh herbs instead of dried for a more vibrant and intense flavor profile when available.
- Store the seasoning in a cool, dark place to maintain maximum potency and prevent flavor degradation.
- Experiment with additional spices like dried rosemary or red pepper flakes to add complexity and heat to the mixture.
