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.

  • 1 gram
    fenugreek seeds
  • 1 gram
    fennel seeds
  • 12 grams
    white peppercorns

  2. 1 min

    optional

    Briefly toast the spices in a pan over medium heat. Swirl the pan while toasting to keep the spices moving.

  3. 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.
