Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cup Garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup Dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup Dried parsley
  • 1/3 cup Onion powder
  • 1/3 cup Dried sage
  • 1/3 cup Dried rosemary
  • 4 T Sweet paprika
  • 4 T Cayenne pepper

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Food Processor

Method
 

  1. Start by preparing your dried rosemary. If you don't have cracked rosemary, place the rosemary in a food processor with a steel blade. Buzz it for 2 to 3 minutes, until all the dried leaves are broken into small bits. The texture should be fine enough to blend in seamlessly.
  2. Once your rosemary is ready, it’s time to add in the other ingredients. Measure out the garlic powder, dried thyme, dried parsley, onion powder, dried sage, dried rosemary, sweet paprika, and cayenne pepper into the food processor.
  3. Process the mixture about 30 seconds. The goal is to ensure that all the ingredients are well combined. Look for a uniform color and texture indicating that everything has blended together nicely.
  4. After processing, take a moment to smell the rub. You should be greeted with a fragrant mixture that's both aromatic and inviting. This is a sign that your Chicken Seasoning Rub is coming together beautifully!
  5. Transfer the seasoning mix into a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. This will help preserve the flavors and aromas for your future cooking adventures.
  6. When you’re ready to use your Chicken Seasoning Rub, generously sprinkle it over your chicken pieces. Make sure to rub it in thoroughly, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  7. For the best results, let the seasoned chicken sit for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the spices to meld into the chicken, enhancing the overall taste.
  8. Cook your chicken using your preferred method—grilling, baking, or pan-searing. Watch as the spices create a beautiful crust and infuse the meat with flavor.
  9. Finally, enjoy the delicious results! The Chicken Seasoning Rub will surely become a staple in your kitchen, bringing joy and flavor to your meals.
