    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • Yields about 2 tablespoons of chicken seasoning. Use the servings slider to adjust and make more if desired!
    • If you have a spice grinder I suggest grinding the celery seed, thyme, and rosemary for a smoother seasoning.
    • If you can not find chicken bouillon granules, you can crush up chicken bouillon cubes.
    • Will store in an airtight container in a cool dark place for up to 1 year with no flavor loss.
