Notes
- I love garlic, so I used a lot in this recipe. Feel free to adjust it to your liking.
- Chicken bouillon, although optional, adds a nice balance to the spice mix; don’t knock it until you’ve used it to season your poultry, and you’ll be glad you did.
- Store the spice blend in an airtight container and keep it in your cupboard or on a shelf.
- Top tip: Don’t sprinkle the seasoning over direct steam; use a measuring spoon to scoop it. Doing so could add moisture to the spice jar, causing the spices to clump together or lose their flavor.
