Uses of these DIY seasoning blends for chicken:
These homemade DIY chicken seasoning blends can add a burst of flavor to your chicken dishes, making them more delicious and tailored to your taste preferences. Here are some great ways to use these seasoning blends:
- Grilled Chicken: Rub some homemade grilled chicken dry rub onto chicken breasts, thighs, or wings before grilling.
- Roasted Chicken: Sprinkle some rotisserie chicken seasoning over a whole chicken or chicken pieces before roasting. The herbs and spices will infuse the chicken with rich, savory flavors as it cooks.
- Baked Chicken: Whether you’re making baked chicken breasts, thighs, or drumsticks, a homemade seasoning blend like my basic chicken seasoning recipe can enhance the taste of your recipe. Coat the chicken with the seasoning before baking for a well-seasoned and aromatic end result.
- Chicken Soups and Stews: Sprinkle some of my basic chicken seasoning into chicken soups or stews for added depth of flavor. This works well in dishes like chicken noodle soup, chicken and rice soup, or chicken gumbo.
- Chicken Skewers or Kabobs: Before you thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers and grill or bake them, you must first use my homemade Grilled Chicken Dry Rub for maximum flavor!
- Chicken Sandwiches: Whether you’re making grilled chicken sandwiches, chicken wraps, or chicken paninis, a basic homemade seasoning blend like the one shared above can enhance the taste of the chicken and make the dish truly delicious.
- Chicken wings: You can use either my chicken wing rub or my basic chicken seasoning for the best wings!
- Marinades: Any of the chicken seasoning mixes above can be adapted for use in a marinade, depending on personal taste preferences. The Basic Chicken Seasoning Recipe or Grilled Chicken Dry Rub are my personal favorites.
Always remember to adjust the quantity of the seasoning in your recipe based on your personal taste and the amount of chicken you are preparing.
These homemade chicken seasonings provide a flavorful base for chicken seasonings, however, you can feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a blend that suits your taste.
