Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning
Description
This Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning consists of a mix of paprika, dried thyme, garlic and onion powders, seasoned with freshly ground salt and black pepper. The powder blend is easy to prepare and can be stored for future use. It is intended as a versatile rub for whole chickens or parts.
Applied generously to the chicken surface after trussing and optionally brushing with olive oil, the seasoning forms a flavorful crust during cooking. It adapts well to various cooking methods such as rotisserie, oven roasting at 425°F, or slow cooking. Cooking times vary by method and chicken size but typically range from 30 to 80 minutes.
The seasoning’s balance of sweetness from paprika, herbal thyme, and aromatic alliums complements poultry without overwhelming natural flavors. It enhances juiciness especially when combined with occasional basting during roasting.
Practical tips include tying the chicken for even cooking and allowing the meat to rest after cooking. The seasoning works equally well on chicken pieces, adjusting cooking time accordingly, and can be doubled for multiple birds.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme dried
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Whisk all dried ingredients and spices together in a small bowl. Use immediately or store in an airtight jar in the pantry for future use.
Notes
- Truss whole chickens and remove giblets before applying the seasoning for even cooking and flavor.
- Brush the chicken with olive oil before applying the seasoning to help it adhere and form a crust.
- For roasting whole chickens, baste the bird every 15-20 minutes to maintain moisture and flavor.
- This seasoning can be used for whole chickens on a rotisserie, in the oven, or slow cooker with adjusted cooking times.
- Chicken pieces can be substituted; reduce cooking time to 30-45 minutes depending on the cut.
- Rest the chicken about 10 minutes after cooking before carving for better juices retention.
- Seasoning can be stored in an airtight jar in the pantry for repeated future use.
