Keep it fresh. Spices give food flavor and aroma. Whole spices will generally retain their flavor and potency significantly longer than herbs. Herbs and spices don’t necessarily go bad, but they do lose their potency over time. To tell if your seasonings are fresh, just open them up and give them a sniff. If they don’t have much aroma, they won’t have much flavor, and it’s time to replace them.
Customize. Making poultry seasoning at home gives you the flexibility of being able to adjust the seasonings to suit your tastes and dietary needs without added fillers and preservatives.
Storage. This is a great recipe to double or triple to keep it on hand. Homemade poultry seasoning should be sealed in an airtight container and stored in a cool, dry, dark place like a cabinet or pantry. You can add corn or potato starch or a food-grade silica gel packet to the mix to prevent the herbs from hardening and clumping. Poultry seasoning will maintain its freshness for about six months depending on the freshness of the spices you use.
Spice it up. Take things in a spicier direction by using a bit of Creole seasoning, cayenne, or white pepper in the blend.
Add-ins. Try adding other herbs and spices like dried lemon peel zest, dried mustard, or garam masala to add new dimensions to the flavor.
