TIPS!!!

 

 

* Try it pan fried as a rub ( for this you will only need about 1/2- 3/4 Tbsp per pound of seasoning).

 

* Make sure you pat dry the chicken thoroughly so the chicken absorbs the marinade.

 

* Cold meats will NOT cook evenly. Let the chicken rest on counter for at least 20 minutes before cooking. 

 

* Excellent seasoning to use on all chicken applications but also great on any type of meat, fish vegetables, salads and more!
