Equipment

  • mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried sweet basil
  • 2 teaspoons dried Mediterranean oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill leaves
  • 1 teaspoon minced dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric

Instructions
 

  • 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.
