Chicken With Herbal Dry Rub Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Season chicken cavities with salt and pepper. Dividing evenly, stuff with lemon, garlic, and sprigs of thyme and rosemary (reserve a few sprigs of each for garnish).
• With a heavy knife, coarsely chop necks, and scatter in a large roasting pan. Place chickens, breast side up, on a rack set in pan. Using cotton kitchen twine, securely tie legs together; tuck wing tips underneath chickens.
• Rub chickens with butter; season with salt. Roast, occasionally brushing chickens with pan juices, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165, about 1 hour. Transfer chickens to a platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest 10 to 15 minutes before carving. If desired, prepare Pan Sauce to serve with chickens.

Steps:

• Combine the dried herbs, salt, and pepper in a small food processor or spice grinder. Pulse until finely ground. Rub the mixture all over the chicken, to completely season and coat.
• Place the chicken on the rotisserie. Place over the prepared coals. Roast until the juices run clear when tested with a two-pronged fork and an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees. When inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, about 2 hours.

Steps:

• Stir celery flakes, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, sage, black pepper, rosemary, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Transfer spice mixture to a spice grinder or food processor and blend until smooth.
