Bodrum Chicken Seasoning, called Tavuk Baharatı in Turkish, is a ready-made seasoning blend for chicken dishes. It comes in a 100 g stand-up pouch with a 'tear here and reseal' top, and the front of the pack states that it is 100% natural with no artificial colours or additives. With a ready blend there is no need to measure out separate spices each time you cook chicken.
In Turkish home cooking, tavuk baharatı is rubbed over chicken thighs, drumsticks or whole chickens before roasting, grilling or pan-frying, and it is also used in marinades for tavuk şiş and döner-style chicken. Mix a spoonful with olive oil, yoghurt or lemon juice, coat the chicken and leave it to rest in the refrigerator for an hour or overnight before cooking. It can also season rice pilaf, roast potatoes and vegetables.
Reseal the pouch after each use. The full ingredient list, allergen information, storage guidance and best-before date are printed on the pack.
