Herbed Lemon Pepper Rub image

I used to be La Madeleine's DFW catering chef, and the production kitchen cooked all the rotisserie chicken, and I did really like the rub they used. This is an approximation of their rub, with a few ingredients of my own thrown in. This is enough rub for one roasting chicken.

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 large garlic cloves, minced
3 teaspoons lemon peel, grated
2 teaspoons dried rosemary leaves, crushed
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves, crushed

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper

Steps:

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
Immediately rub on fish, seafood, chicken or pork and let rest 15 minutes before cooking on the grill.

Tips:

Choose fresh, flavorful basil. The basil is the star of this rub, so make sure to use fresh, aromatic leaves. If you can, grow your own basil or buy it from a farmers market.
Use a microplane grater to zest the lemon. This will give you the finest zest, which will distribute evenly throughout the rub.
Toast the peppercorns before grinding them. This will enhance their flavor and aroma.
Use a mortar and pestle to grind the spices. This will give you a more consistent grind and help to release the essential oils from the spices.
Apply the rub to the meat at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will give the flavors time to penetrate the meat.
Cook the meat over indirect heat. This will help to prevent the rub from burning.
Let the meat rest before carving. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.

Conclusion:

This basil and lemon pepper rub is a delicious and versatile way to add flavor to your favorite meats. It's perfect for grilled chicken, fish, pork, and beef. The rub is also great for roasted vegetables. With its bright, herbaceous flavor and subtle citrus notes, this rub is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
