What it does

Food tastes weaker as it cools, and the longer an order waits the flatter it seems. Al Laith chicken flavor stabilizer is mixed into the seasoning itself to keep the taste steady while it waits, tenderises breast and thigh and, according to the product data, lifts the perceived chicken taste by about 15%.

The dose

200 g stabilizer per 1 kg of chicken seasoning. It is calculated on the weight of the seasoning, not the chicken.

Step by step

  1. Weigh the seasoning for the batch.
  2. Weigh 200 g stabilizer per kg of seasoning.
  3. Mix it with the dry seasoning first, before any liquid.
  4. Add the mix to the marinade liquid and follow your recipe as usual.

Based on the ratios of broasted seasoning and chicken shawarma seasoning.

Test it in your own kitchen first

The simplest way to see the difference is a small side-by-side test on a normal working day. Marinate two small batches of the same chicken with the same seasoning and the same time: one without stabilizer and one with it at the correct dose. Cook both the same way, then leave a piece from each batch on the warmer or in a closed delivery box for as long as your orders usually wait, and taste them one after the other with your chef.

  • Taste each piece straight out of the fryer or off the grill.
  • Taste again after your usual waiting time.
  • Compare the taste and the tenderness of breast and thigh.

If you adopt it, write the dose next to the marinade ratios on the recipe card in the kitchen, so every shift and every chef adds the same amount. Chains with several branches can mix the stabilizer into the seasoning in one place, so each branch receives the blend ready and only adds it to the marinade liquid.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Adding it to water alone, so it spreads unevenly.
  • Calculating it on the chicken weight instead of the seasoning.
  • Raising the dose above 200 g per kg of seasoning.
  • Closed delivery boxes that trap steam; use vented boxes.

Packs: 1 kg and 5 kg packs and 15 and 25 kg bags, delivered to every governorate.
