RUSTIC SPICE RUB (BULK)
This is a rub recipe that I have been using the last few years for all types of meats. This is just a basic recipe. It can be easily adjusted to your own taste (start with the lower amounts of each ingredient and build up because it is VERY spicy). This recipe makes a batch equal to approx 2 cups. It will keep fresh for months if stored air tight in a cool, dark place (kitchen cabinet or pantry). *Note: I make it in bulk and fill little 4 oz baby food jars (labels off and decorated, of course), to give as gifts to neighbors and friends over the holidays (See Step #2). I hope you enjoy my rub recipe. (If you want to make a "one time use" batch, my friend has a very similar, but ever so slightly different, version you may wish to try...

Steps:
- Thoroughly mix all ingredients together, give it a taste, adjust seasonings to you own liking and store in air-tight container(s). Keep in cool, dark place (kitchen cabinet or pantry). Will stay fresh for several months.
- *Note: If you want to divide the spice rub into smaller portions to give as gifts, use whatever size jars you choose (I use 4 oz baby food jars). If reusing old jars, thoroughly wash and remove the labels. Cut out a circle of cute, small printed material (I like small checkered print) larger than the lid of the jar (I use "pinking shears" to do this). Fill the jar and close tightly. Lay the material over the lid of the jar and secure with a rubber band around the neck of the jar. Tie a ribbon around the neck of the jar to cover the rubber band and make a bow (I like to use raffia so it truly gives it a "rustic" look). Add your own sticky label or attach a small gift tag to the ribbon to describe what is in the jar.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the Right Chicken: Opt for a whole chicken for a more flavorful and juicy dish. If using chicken breasts or thighs, ensure they are skin-on and bone-in for added flavor and moisture.
- Prepare the Rub: Combine all the rub ingredients in a small bowl and mix thoroughly. Adjust the measurements to taste, adding more or less of any ingredient as desired.
- Prep the Chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out, then pat dry with paper towels. Remove any excess fat or skin, if preferred.
- Apply the Rub: Generously rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, ensuring it covers the entire surface. Use your hands to massage the rub into the chicken, ensuring it penetrates the skin and crevices.
- Let the Chicken Rest: Allow the chicken to rest for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors of the rub to penetrate the chicken and develop.
- Cook the Chicken: Choose your preferred cooking method, such as roasting, grilling, or air frying. Follow the recipe's instructions for specific cooking times and temperatures.
- Let the Chicken Rest: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
This versatile rustic chicken rub offers a delicious and easy way to elevate your chicken dishes. Its blend of herbs, spices, and citrus creates a flavorful crust that complements the tender and juicy chicken. Whether you prefer roasting, grilling, or air frying, this rub will add a delightful touch to your chicken recipes. Experiment with different cooking methods and sides to create a perfect meal that suits your taste and occasion.
