Prep Work for Herbes de Provence Chicken
- While you can buy Herbes de Provence seasoning, making it yourself is incredibly simple. I recommend this recipe that can be made in advance.
- While a mortar and pestle is not mandatory for this recipe, it is still such a great tool to have in your kitchen arsenal. Also, perfect for breaking down larger herbs (like you see in this recipe) and other seasoning like flaky sea salt.
- An oven safe pan will be needed for this recipe and I also recommend a large mixing bowl for the prep of the chicken. Using a bowl to prep the chicken works amazing in minimizing mess and helps with optimal adhering of the herbs and spices to the chicken.
