    I'm a huge fan of homemade spice blends because they are easy to whip up, don't have extra additives and can be easily customized. Not to mention how much fresher they taste.

    With a few simple spices, you can make up a batch of this Moroccan Spice Blend to use on chicken or a number of other dishes.

    This takes only a few minutes to make and can be stored several weeks in an air tight container.

    To make Moroccan Spice Blend you will need the following spices:

    All of these spices are readily available at most any supermarket from each of the major spice companies. I'll also link them to Amazon in case you'd like to order any of them.

    1. paprika
    2. cumin
    3. chili powder
    4. turmeric
    5. garlic powder
    6. ground ginger
    7. salt
    8. cinnamon
    9. cayenne
    10. allspice

    Any brand you like is fine here!

    How to make a homemade spice blend:

    To mix the spices just grab a small bowl and some measuring spoons. Add all ingredients and give them a good whisk or stir.

    You can also add them directly to a jar and shake if you leave enough room.

    Supplies needed for making homemade spice blends:

    Besides the spices you will also need...

    • glass jars OR
    • specialty spice storage
    • measuring spoons (I like the different ends on these to fit different jars)

    • Soups

    Other common questions:

    How much spice should I use?

    I will depend on the recipe, but my general recommendation is to use 2-3 tablespoons per pound of meat depending on how much flavor is desired

    How can I make this less spicy?

    Reduce the amount of cayenne pepper

    How long does this last?

    Homemade spice blends don't have additives so they won't last as long as store bought. However, stored in an airtight container they should last several weeks.

    Can I double the recipe?

    Absolutely!! Double, triple, make as much as you want! Just don't make more than you will use or give away within a couple of months.

        I'd suggest recalculating this with the exact ingredients and measurements you are using if these numbers are crucial, as these are just estimates and can not be completely accurate depending on different brands used, etc.
