I used to be La Madeleine's DFW catering chef, and the production kitchen cooked all the rotisserie chicken, and I did really like the rub they used. This is an approximation of their rub, with a few ingredients of my own thrown in. This is enough rub for one roasting chicken.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients
  • Rub on chicken and let rest for 15mins before cooking

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, flavorful herbs for your rub; dried herbs will not provide the same level of flavor.
  • Use a microplane or zester to finely grate the lemon zest; this will help release the essential oils and provide a more intense flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use a blend of dried herbs such as thyme, rosemary, oregano, and basil.
  • Be sure to rub the herbs and spices into the meat evenly; this will help ensure that the flavor is distributed throughout the meat.
  • Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.
  • When cooking the meat, be sure to cook it over indirect heat to prevent the herbs from burning.

Conclusion:

Lemon herb rub is a versatile and flavorful way to add zest to your favorite meats. Whether you're grilling, roasting, or baking, a lemon herb rub will help your meat cook up tender and juicy with a delicious lemony flavor. So next time you're looking for a way to add some extra flavor to your meat, reach for a lemon herb rub. You won't be disappointed!
