“I’ve made this many, many times,” according to Alyssa. “Delicious!! I usually double the seasoning and try to get some under the skin as well as on top. The thighs are always moist and flavorful.”

“Very easy,” says Kathy. “I roasted some potatoes and peppers with it in the same baking pan. Made a yummy one dish meal.”

“This is now my go-to seasoning for chicken,” raves KatieD. “In fact, I’ve even put it into an empty paprika shaker so I always have it on hand.”
