Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set a wire rack inside.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Generously season the chicken on both sides with the herb salt, rubbing underneath the skin. Let sit for 15-20 minutes to draw out the moisture from the chicken skin, which will result in crispier chicken.
- After resting, pat the chicken thighs dry once more to remove any excess moisture. Drizzle the olive oil under the skin and rub into the chicken.
- Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the wire rack. Bake for 30 minutes, until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 155-160˚F (68-71˚C).
- Let the thighs rest for 15 minutes to bring the internal temperature to 165˚F (75˚C) and to let the juices settle.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Combine herb leaves and garlic with a mortar and pestle or in a food processor, pouring in oil in a slow, steady stream. Stir in zest; season with pepper.
- Place chicken on a cutting board. Tuck wing tips under. Season cavity with salt and pepper. Place lemon halves and herb stems in cavity. Make two 1 1/2-inch slits in each leg and thigh. Loosen skin from breasts with your fingers. Rub paste all over chicken, into slits and under skin. Tie legs with kitchen twine. Refrigerate chicken, covered, at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Let chicken stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or roasting pan in oven 15 minutes. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Carefully place it in the skillet in the oven, breast side down. Roast 15 minutes. Turn chicken onto its side; roast 10 minutes. Turn onto other side; roast 10 minutes. Turn chicken onto its back; roast until golden brown and juices run clear or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 175 degrees. about 20 minutes.
- Lift chicken so that juices run into skillet; transfer chicken to a platter. Cover chicken loosely with foil; set aside. Pour off fat from skillet, leaving juices; discard fat. Heat juices over medium-high heat. Slowly add wine, stirring to loosen the browned bits. Bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Serve chicken with the pan sauce.
Tips:
- Choose the right herbs. The best herbs for a chicken rub are those that have a strong flavor and will hold up to the heat of the grill or oven. Some good choices include rosemary, thyme, sage, oregano, and basil.
- Use fresh herbs whenever possible. Fresh herbs will give your chicken rub the best flavor. If you only have dried herbs on hand, use about half the amount called for in the recipe.
- Make sure your herbs are finely chopped. This will help them distribute evenly over the chicken and create a more flavorful crust.
- Combine your herbs with other spices and seasonings. This will create a more complex flavor profile. Some good choices include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
- Don't over-rub your chicken. A little bit of rub goes a long way. If you use too much, the chicken can become too salty or overpowering.
- Let the chicken rest before cooking. This will allow the rub to soak into the meat and create a more flavorful crust.
Conclusion:
A well-made herb rub can take your chicken to the next level. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and aromatic crust that will impress your family and friends. So next time you're grilling or roasting chicken, be sure to give it a try.
