Ingredients
  

For the Spice Blend
  • 2 teaspoons Paprika Adds warmth and vibrant color; swap with smoked paprika for a bolder flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Introduces depth and richness; fresh minced garlic can be used, but reduce quantity as it’s stronger.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Complements garlic; consider fresh onion finely chopped as an alternative for a fresher taste.
  • 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano The heart of Mediterranean flavor; fresh oregano can replace dried at three times the amount.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Adds mild heat; feel free to adjust based on your spice tolerance.
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest Brightens flavors; a dash of lemon juice can heighten the acidity in marinades.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Introduces an extra kick; omit if you prefer a milder seasoning.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances all other flavors; skip this for a salt-free version.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Gyro Chicken Seasoning
  1. Start by collecting all the ingredients needed for your Gyro Chicken Seasoning. This includes paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, black pepper, lemon zest, cayenne pepper (if desired), and salt.
  2. Carefully measure out each spice using measuring spoons for accuracy. Ensure you get the right balance by following the proportions listed in the recipe.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine all the measured spices. Include the black pepper and cayenne pepper for an extra kick, if you choose.
  4. Using a whisk or a fork, gently mix the spices together in the bowl until you have a uniform blend without any clumps.
  5. Once your Gyro Chicken Seasoning is ready, transfer it to an airtight container. Label the container with the date and name, then place it in a cool, dry spot.
  6. Before using the seasoning, test its flavor by mixing a small amount with olive oil.
