RUSTIC CHICKEN RUB
Great to make into a marinade; scoop out desired amount of rub and whisk with olive oil. Marinate chicken for 1 hour in the fridge and remove from fridge 15 minutes before cooking. This process allows for even cooking.

RUSTIC ROASTED CHICKEN
This is one pot cooking at it's tantalizing best. You start by rubbing an organic chicken with lemon and butter. Then stuff the cavity with sprigs of thyme, rosemary and tarragon, setting the bird on a bed of vegetables, which soak up the herb scented juices as they cook. After an hour the skin is crisp, the meat is tender and the vegetables are perfectly roasted.

- Place half a lemon and two sprigs each of tarragon, rosemary and thyme in the cavity of each chicken.

RUSTIC SPICE RUB (BULK)
This is a rub recipe that I have been using the last few years for all types of meats. This is just a basic recipe. It can be easily adjusted to your own taste (start with the lower amounts of each ingredient and build up because it is VERY spicy). This recipe makes a batch equal to approx 2 cups. It will keep fresh for months if stored air tight in a cool, dark place (kitchen cabinet or pantry). *Note: I make it in bulk and fill little 4 oz baby food jars (labels off and decorated, of course), to give as gifts to neighbors and friends over the holidays (See Step #2). I hope you enjoy my rub recipe. (If you want to make a "one time use" batch, my friend has a very similar, but ever so slightly different, version you may wish to try... Recipe #504036 by LifeIsGood).

Steps:
- Thoroughly mix all ingredients together, give it a taste, adjust seasonings to you own liking and store in air-tight container(s). Keep in cool, dark place (kitchen cabinet or pantry). Will stay fresh for several months.
- *Note: If you want to divide the spice rub into smaller portions to give as gifts, use whatever size jars you choose (I use 4 oz baby food jars). If reusing old jars, thoroughly wash and remove the labels. Cut out a circle of cute, small printed material (I like small checkered print) larger than the lid of the jar (I use "pinking shears" to do this). Fill the jar and close tightly. Lay the material over the lid of the jar and secure with a rubber band around the neck of the jar. Tie a ribbon around the neck of the jar to cover the rubber band and make a bow (I like to use raffia so it truly gives it a "rustic" look). Add your own sticky label or attach a small gift tag to the ribbon to describe what is in the jar.
- Enjoy!
RUSTIC RUB
Steps:
- Stir together all ingredients in a bowl until combined well.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For the best results, use a whole chicken that is between 3 and 4 pounds.
- Make sure the chicken is dry: Before you rub the chicken with the spice mixture, pat it dry with paper towels. This will help the rub adhere to the chicken more easily.
- Rub the chicken evenly: Use your hands to rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
- Let the chicken rest: After you have rubbed the chicken with the spice mixture, let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: Roast the chicken at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before carving: After you have roasted the chicken, let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.
Conclusion:
This rustic chicken rub is a flavorful and easy way to prepare a whole chicken. The combination of herbs, spices, and citrus zest creates a delicious crust that is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you are roasting the chicken for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner, this rub will not disappoint.
