INGREDIENTS: Himalayan Pink Salt, Lemon Peel, Coriander, Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano, Garlic, Black Pepper, Red Pepper
INSTRUCTIONS: In a large bowl, whisk packet contents with 1/4 cup olive oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Add 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs to bowl, turning to evenly coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight. Roast, grill, or smoke until thoroughly cooked (see below).
To prepare as Oven Roasted Greek Chicken, preheat oven to 450 degrees F. While it’s preheating, let your chicken come to room temperature for about 20 minutes. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Place chicken, skin side up, on prepared pan. Roast until internal temperature reaches 175 degrees F, and the skin is crispy. Begin checking for doneness around 35 minutes. Let chicken rest about 10 minutes before serving.
To prepare as Smoked Greek Chicken, (my favorite way!) preheat smoker to 350 degrees F. While it’s preheating, let your chicken come to room temperature for about 20 minutes. Place chicken, skin side up, on smoker and smoke for 30 minutes. Then flip the chicken over, so it’s skin side down, and smoke for an additional 30 minutes. At this point, if the skin isn’t as crispy as you’d like, crank the smoker to 500 degrees F and keep a close eye on it. Remove when it’s as crispy as you’d like it. Let chicken rest about 10 minutes before serving.
To prepare as Grilled Greek Chicken, let your chicken come to room temperature for about 20 minutes before grilling. Preheat grill on high for about 10 minutes.

Cover and cook until internal temperature reaches 175 degrees F (about 30 minutes). Then move chicken, skin side down, to the hotter side of the grill. Cook until skin is as crispy as you’d like. Let chicken rest about 10 minutes before serving.

Prepare a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper. Add 1.5 pounds small potatoes and 1 pound of bite-sized raw carrots. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons of Seasoned Salt Garlic Pepper. Roast for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it is plenty hot, add the marinated pork, and sear all sides until it has a browned crust. Add pork directly on top of the vegetables, and continue to roast for 20 minutes or until pork is 145 degrees F. Remove pork to cutting board; let rest 5-10 minutes. Stir vegetables on pan and continue to roast until golden. Slice pork and serve with vegetables.
