How to Make Holiday Spice Rub For Poultry
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons sweet paprika, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
- Gently loosen the skin of your chicken or turkey breast, thighs, and legs. Carefully rub the spice mixture generously under the skin and all over the surface of the poultry.
- For best results, let the poultry sit in the refrigerator, uncovered, for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) to allow the flavors to penetrate. This step is crucial for maximizing flavor!
- Preheat oven or prepare grill according to your chosen cooking method. Roast or grill the poultry according to your recipe instructions.
- Store leftover spice rub in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 3 months.
