All About Chicken Seasoning Rub

By Anthony Campbell


If you like chicken and want to impart great flavor to it, there are a few ways to do so. A chicken seasoning rub is one way to make it extra flavorful. A rub is different from a marinade, in that it is dry and it is rubbed onto the meat. Different flavor combinations give the poultry a totally different taste. It's a good idea to play around with different seasonings to find the flavor that you enjoy. Packets that are already put together can also be found at most grocery stores. Simply open the packet and massage it into the poultry.

Whether you are using home made or store made, the seasonings should be applied in advance. You want to give them between 20 minutes and a couple of hours to really get the flavor into the poultry. Massage it in well, get it under the skin if there is in for best results.

If you want to be in control of your food and what goes into it, make it up yourself. This is perfect for those who are a bit pickier with their flavors or those who want to avoid certain things, like salt, for example. Many premade options have a lot of salt included in the list of ingredients.

For a spicy option, combine black pepper, chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, powered onion, and powdered garlic. This recipe will definitely have a kick to it. If you don't want too much of a kick, use caution with the cayenne and chili power.

Some like a sweeter rub on their meat and for those leave the cayenne out and add some brown sugar. You can also leave the cayenne pepper in, along with the brown sugar. This will leave you with something that is a little bit spicy and a little bit sweet.

Now, if you're someone who doesn't really like spice, and doesn't really like sweet, but would rather have something in the middle, there is definitely something for you. Smoked paprika and dry mustard help give this rub something that's perfect for the person who is somewhere in the middle. Add these two ingredients along with cumin, powdered garlic and onion, brown sugar, ginger and black pepper.

These can all be made up ahead of time and stored in an airtight container. Keep them in the cabinet and take them out whenever you're in the mood for some super flavorful chicken. Keep in mind that they longer you let these stay on the poultry before cooking, the more intense the flavor will be. You can even score the meat, for added flavor.

While each of the above are great with poultry, they can also be used on other meats such as, roasts, steaks, and ribs. They impart a unique taste to every day cuts of meat. They liven up a meal. It's fun to experiment with different flavor profiles to find the ones that you like best. Get the family involved in helping to come up with different tastes. It's fun, and a great introduction to cooking for children.
