This chicken seasoning and rub is my copycat version of McCormick’s Montreal Chicken Seasoning. I am not a fan of the orange peel and caraway seeds in McCormick’s seasoning. I’ve skipped the orange peel and replaced the caraway with dried thyme. I’ve incorporated my favorite flavor enhancer that makes it even better than the original. What is this flavor enhancer? It is shiitake mushroom powder. I love this mushroom for the ability to bring out the best flavors of anything savory, meat, soups, stews and vegetables.
I use this seasoning primarily for my chicken however, I’ve discovered it is also great on roasted vegetables. Winter squash, and cauliflower are two of my favorites. Also delicious as a seasoning on tofu or roasted chick peas. Try some today and make up a batch for your chicken or roasted vegetables.
