Chicken Seasoning
- Yield:42 grams
- Time:9 mins show details
For me, what makes this seasoning stand apart is the small amount of fenugreek. Other spices can be added, subtracted or modified; but small amounts of fenugreek really enhances chicken's depth of flavor.
Works well as both a dry rub and a general purpose seasoning.
Ingredients

- 1 gramfennel seeds

Equipment
Preparation
The ingredients before grinding.
- 1 min
optional
Briefly toast the spices in a pan over medium heat. Swirl the pan while toasting to keep the spices moving.
- 8 mins
Pulverize the ingredients in a mortar and pestle (or grind in a spice grinder). Start with the largest items: fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, and white peppercorns, grind until a fine dust. Add the sugar and salt once all the larger seeds have become a fine powder, and continue grinding until the powder is uniformly distributed.
Notes
Some variations I make of this include spices like pimenton, turmeric, red pepper flakes, cumin, and/or allspice.
