Roast Chicken Seasoning

My roast chicken seasoning recipe is easy and quick to put together. This is a dry rub seasoning for whole chicken that can also be used on other parts, such as breast, thighs, wings, and drumsticks. It is made with a few herbs and spices that tenderise and infuse flavor, making any poultry deliciously juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
