How To Make Easy Copycat McCormick Perfect Pinch Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning Recipe

Step 1: In a small mixing bowl, combine all the spices. Stir well until evenly blended.

Step 2: Pat your chicken dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick and ensures crispy skin.

Step 3: Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the entire chicken, covering all sides.

Step 4: Let the seasoned chicken rest 10-15 minutes so the flavors penetrate the meat.

Easy Copycat McCormick Perfect Pinch Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning Recipe Tips

• Use fresh spices: Old spices can lose their punch, so check the aroma before mixing.
• Pat the chicken dry: Moisture prevents the seasoning from sticking and keeps skin crispy.
• Let it rest: After seasoning, let the chicken sit 10–15 minutes to soak up all the flavors.
• Even coating matters: Rub the seasoning all over, including under the skin if possible, for maximum flavor.
• Adjust salt to taste: Everyone’s preference is different, so start light and add more if needed.

Storing Instructions

Store leftover seasoned or cooked chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Make sure it’s completely cooled before sealing to keep it fresh and prevent soggy skin.
