Why does she need to eat it?

Personally, I prefer to reserve the seasoning for when I'm cooking the chickens.

So yes we were going to do water with aspirin but I’m trying to go the non chemical rout. Obviously if need be I will get her in pain meds. I have a vet I consult with. We a few stumped on how to get her to eat it.
Can I mix in water and then syringe feed her?
