- Now, let’s prepare this blend in a way that’s sure to make your chicken sing.
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
- Start by collecting all the spices listed above. You don’t need fancy equipment; just your measuring spoons and a mixing bowl will do.
Step 2: Measure and Mix
- In your mixing bowl, add each spice according to the measurements given. It’s a simple but satisfying process. The more you do it, the more you’ll appreciate the vibrant colors and aromas wafting up.
Step 3: Blend
- Using a whisk or a fork, gently mix the spices. This step ensures that your blend is uniform and each chicken bite gets an equal amount of flavor.
Step 4: Store
- Once mixed, you have several options. You can transfer the seasoning into a small jar or an airtight container. Make sure to label it so you can easily find it later. It will last several months in a cool, dark place.
Step 5: Season Your Chicken
- When you’re ready to use the blend, sprinkle it generously on your chicken. You can use it on breasts, thighs, or even whole birds. I recommend letting the chicken sit for a bit after seasoning—this allows the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Notes
Here are some handy tips to use when making your Greek seasoning blend:
- Customize the Heat: Want a little kick? Incorporate red pepper flakes. Add just a pinch to avoid overwhelming your dish.
- Experiment with Fresh Herbs: If you prefer fresh herbs, use them instead of dried, but remember to adjust the quantity since fresh herbs are less potent.
- Mix in a Food Processor: For a finer texture, blend the spices in a food processor. This will create a more cohesive mix, perfect for seasoning.
- Use Salt Wisely: If you’re on a low-sodium diet, reduce the sea salt. You can always add more later if necessary.
- Layer It On: When cooking, try seasoning at different stages. For instance, sprinkle some on before cooking and a bit more right after it comes off the heat.
