    How To Season Chicken Breast

    After making the seasoning, you can then season chicken breast with it.

    First, you need to pat dry the chicken breast.

    Brush the breast pieces with olive oil. It helps to stick seasoning on the chicken.

    Add one tablespoon of dry rub seasoning to one pound of breast pieces. You can increase or decrease the amount of seasoning according to the chicken sizes.

    The chicken breast pieces can be cooked immediately but if you want more flavorful chicken then you need to marinate it for at least one hour or a maximum of overnight before cooking. Remember to keep the chicken in the refrigerator after it is seasoned.

    For skinless chicken add seasoning into cuts of chicken while for skin-on chicken, add the seasoning under the chicken’s skin to give it proper flavor. Sprinkle the seasoning all over the chicken so it's evenly coated.

    Tips

    • It is said that spices can be used forever but it is also true that after a specific time they lose their flavor and aroma. As this recipe is easy and quick, make the spice blend in small batches.
    • To keep seasoning and dry rub fresh for a long time, store them in a dry, cool, and dark place away from sunlight.
    • Make sure that the bowls you use to make and store seasoning are properly dry because moisture can make the seasoning mouldy and go bad making it lose taste, flavor, and color.
    • Use finely ground black pepper where possible as the texture of black pepper has a huge impact and role in recipe flavor and look.
    • Avoid exposing seasoning to moisture as you need to keep it dry in storage so avoid pouring from spice container directly over steaming pot.
    • Remember to label the seasoning container with the date of preparation and expiry date. Use all seasoning before the expiry date.

      This dry rub is splendid! Put it together with some chicken breast for Frodo and his boys the other night and they were ravenous. Would definitely travel into Mordor for this!
