To use, simply sprinkle the Greek Chicken seasoning generously over your chicken pieces before cooking. For roasting, apply it to the skin and cavity of a whole chicken or to individual cuts like breasts, thighs, or wings. When grilling, rub the seasoning onto the chicken to create a flavorful crust. For pan-frying, incorporate it into the chicken mixture or sprinkle it on during the last few minutes of cooking. It can also be mixed with olive oil or yogurt to create a marinade for deeper flavor penetration.
