I needed roast chicken for an enchilada recipe and didn't want to turn the oven on because it is too hot right now so I found this recipe online and grilled mine. Excellent taste.
Roast Chicken Seasoning Rub
(Makes about four cups, recipe created by Kalyn with inspiration from Pride of Szeged Chicken Rub)
1 1/2 cup garlic powder
1/2 cup dried thyme
1/2 cup dried parsley
1/3 cup onion powder
1/3 cup rubbed sage
1/3 cup dried rosemary (use cracked rosemary, or see note below)
4 T sweet paprika (I like Penzeys)
4 T cayenne pepper (or less, but this is only mildly spicy)
If you don't have cracked rosemary, start by putting the rosemary in the food processor with a steel blade and buzzing it for 2-3 minutes, until all the dried rosemary leaves are broken into small bits. Then add other ingredients and process about 30 seconds, until ingredients seem well combined. This should be stored in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid if you're keeping some for yourself.
Suggested uses: Wash whole chicken and dry with paper towels. Rub outside of the chicken with olive oil or butter, then rub on about 1 T Roast Chicken Seasoning Rub. Roast or cook on rotisserie as usual, about 15-20 minutes per pound, or until chicken tests 185 degrees with instant-read thermometer. (Edit 1-9-07 Many experts now think roasting to 160-170 is adequate, and I've become convinced that a lower final temperature gives a more juicy result.)
This would also be great on pork roast, as a seasoning blend for slightly-spicy roasted vegetables, mixed into butter for corn on the cob, or as a seasoning for sweet-potato fries.
