Spice Adjustment: Personalize the seasoning's heat and herbiness. Reduce paprika and cayenne for milder flavors, or increase them for a spicier, more herbaceous taste.
Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, high-quality spices and herbs for the most flavorful blend.
Taste Test: Sample the dry rub before applying it to your chicken to ensure it aligns with your taste preferences.
Experiment: Try the seasoning in various recipes to explore new and exciting flavor combinations.
Avoid Contamination: Prevent cross-contamination by using separate utensils for the seasoning and raw chicken.
