Easy Herbs for Chicken

I love this herb mix.    Whenever we bake a chicken, we cover it in this stuff.   We also put a couple of spoons full into our chicken stock.   Yum!

It's quick.   It's easy.  It doesn't call for exotic ingredients.

Whew.  I'm so glad.   I can't deal with exotic right now.

I've given you two recipes - one for a single use on chicken or in soup and one that's a bulk recipe.   

Chicken Rub - Single Chicken
  • 1 Tablespoon dried crushed rosemary
  • 1 Tablespoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/2 Tablespoon [1 1/2 tsp] salt

Chicken Rub - Bulk recipe
  • 4 oz dried thyme leaves
  • 4 oz dried crushed rosemary
  • 1 cup salt
Stir it all up and use it on chicken [or turkey!] or in soup.  You can make these without the salt.    Don't worry if the proportions aren't exactly right.   Everything will still taste good.  

To put it on a chicken, pour the herb mix in your hand and rub it all over the chicken.   You can try to sprinkle it, but it doesn't stick all that well unless you get up close and personal.
