Notes
Season right on top of the skin, however you'll be basting and inevitably washing some of it away. You'll get the best flavor by rubbing your seasoning under the skin and inside the turkey. This way the seasoning will have direct contact with the meat.
Season the outside of your turkey or chicken with LOTS of butter, salt, pepper, garlic and then add this seasoning blend. Baste the turkey with beer, white wine or it's natural juice every hour. The natural sugars will help caramelize the outside of your turkey, giving it a nice crispy and flavorful skin.
