To use, simply pat your chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Generously apply the Raley's Chicken Grilling Seasoning to all sides of the chicken, ensuring an even coating. For best results, let the seasoned chicken rest for at least 15-30 minutes at room temperature before grilling. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat. You can also apply it just before placing the chicken on the grill. Adjust the amount of seasoning to your personal preference for saltiness and spice.
