How to Make Herbed Lemon Pepper Rub
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons lemon zest, 1 tablespoon dried thyme, 1 tablespoon dried rosemary, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
- Thoroughly mix all the ingredients until evenly combined.
- Pat your chicken dry with paper towels. This helps the rub adhere better.
- Generously massage the herbed lemon pepper rub all over the chicken, ensuring it gets into every nook and cranny.
- Let the chicken sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator) to allow the flavors to penetrate. This step is crucial for maximum flavor development!
- Roast the chicken according to your preferred method (oven, rotisserie, grill) until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
