👩🏻🍳 Eileen's Tips for Success
- Use fresh spices, as the spices sit in your cabinets they can tend to lose their flavor so make sure they are fresh for the best flavor.
- If you want a fine powder, you can use a spice grinder to blend the seasoning. This would be great if you are using it as a rub on a whole turkey or chicken.
- You can also use this homemade poultry seasoning blend on game birds as well.
