BHA & BHT Free Poultry Seasoning
Making your own spice blend at home is one of the smartest moves you can make if you're trying to avoid synthetic preservatives like BHA and BHT, which sneak into a surprising number of commercial seasoning mixes. Store-bought poultry seasoning often contains anti-caking agents or preservatives that have no business being in a simple herb blend — this version keeps things completely clean. It's just six real ingredients: sage, thyme, marjoram, rosemary, black pepper, and a whisper of nutmeg, all working together to create that warm, earthy, deeply aromatic flavor that makes roasted chicken and holiday stuffing taste like home. The sage leads the charge with its bold, woodsy character, while the marjoram and thyme round everything out with a gentle sweetness. A quick crush of the rosemary at the end ensures the texture is even and every pinch you scoop delivers a balanced hit of flavor. Stored in an airtight jar in a cool, dark spot, this blend stays fresh and potent for up to six months — so you can make a batch once and reach for it all season long.
