    TL;DR

    I came up with this seasoning blend when I needed a spice blend on hand whenever I was roasting chicken or preparing a simple chicken and rice a la Asian style.

    The mix consists of warm spices, and it's most definitely not spicy hot. Each ingredient compliments the other, making it a true all-rounder-spice blend recipe to own.

    Use it like a rub or sprinkle some of this into your Asian chicken and rice, its uses are endless! More ideas after the recipe card.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Salt — You can skip adding salt if you are not planning to use this spice blend as a rub. I used pink Himalayan salt in the pictures.
    • Ginger
    • Coriander Powder
    • Cayenne Pepper Powder
    • Black Pepper — Freshly ground is the way to go. I like to use tellicherry black peppercorn because it's fruity.
    • Cumin Powder
    • Cinnamon Powder — Try using true cinnamon and not cassia. Looks the same but doesn't taste the same. Cassia is the cheap version of cinnamon.
    • Garlic Powder

    For the best result, use spices that are either freshly ground or that are newer.

    Avoid buying large bulk sized ground spices because the spices compromise on flavor and potency over time, and you don't know how long they have been sitting around.

    Freshly ground is always ideal, but, of course, more time-consuming. To grind spices, use a mortar and pestle, a coffee grinder or a blender with a small spice jar.

    Uses

    The most practical application of your Asian chicken seasoning is as a rub to roast chicken in the oven or to prepare grilled chicken.

    Reduce or skip adding salt if you don't intend to use it as a rub, and throw the spice blend into the following meals to add plenty of Asian flavors.

    • Asian chicken soups
    • Chicken and Rice
    • Asian flavored chicken casserole
    • Asian curry with chicken
    • Chicken nuggets or tenders flavored with this seasoning before the coating
    Asian chicken spices
    Asian chicken spice mix

    Storing

    This seasoning blend fills a 4 ounce/ 110 gram spice jar, and it will last you for about 6–10 uses, depending on the quantity used in your food.

    Store in a clean jar, keep away from direct sunlight, and don't keep it in a humid environment (tropical climate) or else your spices will get moldy.

    I use glass jars so that I remember to use the spice blend, which can be an issue if you have been collecting spice blends. Keep it in a visible spot in your pantry or kitchen.

    Spices can lose their oomph over time, so use within a few months. As a result, I don't recommend doubling the spice blend quantity. It's better to prepare a new batch after a few months.
