Yes, you can use chicken bouillon instead of poultry seasoning. However, you should note that it will not provide the same level of flavor as a blend of herbs and spices. It is best used when combined with other seasonings to achieve a flavorful dish.

Poultry Seasoning
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Sage
- 2 tablespoons Thyme
- 1 tablespoon Marjoram
- 1 tablespoon Rosemary
- 2 teaspoons Nutmeg
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a small dish and mix well.
- Use immediately or store in a sealed jar or dish in the pantry for up to a month.
Notes
- I don't add salt and pepper to my poultry seasoning mixtures because you'll want to add that to taste per each dish. It will vary from meal to meal on how much salt and pepper you might need.
- Don't be afraid of the nutmeg. This is a very common ingredient in many poultry seasoning mixtures you'll find at the store. If you really don't want to add the nutmeg, you don't have to, but it will cut out one of the dynamic flavor components of the seasoning.
- I don't have a specific amount to suggest to use as it varies for me per dish. Just add as much as you need, starting small and working your way up.
- Once you taste the seasoning, adjust the seasoning levels to your preferences. There's no reason you need to stick with the exact amounts I list above.
