Description
A smoky, savory spice blend made specifically for chicken — eight pantry spices whisked together in two minutes. It skips the fillers, added sugar, and high cost of store-bought packets, and you control the salt and heat. Use it on chicken breast, thighs, or ground poultry (and it is just as good on shrimp, fish, or roasted veggies). Naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, paleo, and Whole30-friendly.
