Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon (packed) golden brown sugar
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning with garlic and onion
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 4-pound chickens, quartered, rinsed, patted dry
1 sourdough baguette, cut on diagonal into 3/4-inch-thick slices

Steps:

  • Combine first 9 ingredients in small bowl; whisk spice rub to blend well. Transfer 1 tablespoon spice rub to medium bowl; add butter and mix well. (Rub and seasoned butter can be made 2 days ahead. Cover separately. Chill butter. Bring butter to room temperature before using.)
  • Sprinkle spice rub over both sides of chicken pieces. Arrange chicken pieces on waxed-paper-lined baking sheets. Cover chicken with more waxed paper and let stand at room temperature at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Reserve 4 tablespoons seasoned butter. Spread remaining seasoned butter on 1 side of baguette slices. Place bread slices on platter and cover. Place chicken on grill, skin side up. Grill 20 minutes. Turn chicken over. Grill until skin is deep golden brown, about 15 minutes. Turn chicken again and grill, skin side up, until cooked through (no red shows when chicken is cut at thigh bone), about 5 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to platter. Brush chicken with reserved 4 tablespoons seasoned butter.
  • Grill bread until just golden, about 2 minutes per side. Arrange toasts around chicken and serve.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 teaspoons dried rubbed sage
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Pinch of ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine sage, thyme, marjoram, salt, and pepper.

Tips:

  • Always use fresh herbs. Dried herbs can be used in a pinch, but fresh herbs will give your rub a much more vibrant flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to creating a herb rub. Use your favorite herbs and spices, and adjust the proportions to taste.
  • Rub the mixture into the meat or poultry several hours before cooking. This will give the flavors time to penetrate the meat and create a delicious crust.
  • Don't overcook the meat or poultry. Overcooked meat will be tough and dry, and the flavors of the rub will be lost.
  • Serve the meat or poultry with a simple sauce or gravy. This will help to enhance the flavors of the rub and create a delicious meal.

Conclusion:

Herb rubs are a great way to add flavor to your favorite meats and poultry. They are easy to make, and they can be used on a variety of dishes. With a little experimentation, you can create a herb rub that is perfect for your taste.
