I’m trying out Emeril’s Perfect Roast Chicken today, which requires this Baby Bam spice mix. Looks like this spice mix is used in quite a few more tasty looking recipes I wanted to try, so I decided it was worth the trouble to make a batch. The only spice I didn’t have on hand was the celery salt, but I actually happened to have the ingredients required to make my own, so I did just that. You can probably find celery salt in grocers such as Village Grocer, B.I.G., etc., but you can just simply substitute, since the amount needed is just too small to merit buying an entire bottle.
