Liven Up Dinner With 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.

If you like something with less spice and a sweeter taste, that's easy to achieve. Skip the cayenne and add brown sugar instead. Yummy and sweet. Or add the brown sugar and keep the cayenne for a taste that's both a little sweet and a little spice. It will surely tantalize your taste buds.

This delicious and flavorful option is somewhere in the middle, not too spicy and not too sweet. It's ingredients include cumin, smoky paprika, dry mustard, garlic and onion powder, black pepper and dry mustard. It's simply delicious.

so you're not rushing around in the kitchen on busy days, make these up in advance. They store well when they are placed in airtight containers. Remember, that they do need time to soak into the poultry. A good rule of thumb is, the longer it sits on the meat, the more flavorful it will be. Some people like to score the poultry in order to get added flavor.

Don't think that these are only good for poultry, they are also perfect for ribs, steak, roasts, and other cuts of meat. They are wonderful for those times when you want a truly unique taste. They definitely help you to spice things up in the kitchen. Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices in order to find something that is just right for you and your family. After all, cooking is all about trying new things and coming up with your own creations. Get the entire family in on the act, it's fun, and it's educational. Everyone should learn a few cooking tricks.
