Patrick's Chicken Rub

A roasted whole chicken is always better if you rub it inside and out with a good blend of herbs and spices. Here's one that I developed over the years that works good for me. I also take this rub camping if I plan to roast a chicken in my Dutch oven in the campfire coals. Enjoy!

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Yields: 1 batch

Ingredients

• 1  teaspoon kosher salt
• 1  teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper (from a can)
• 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

1. Rub the chicken inside and out with this blend and allow it to sit for a few minutes prior to baking/roasting. It's good if you can get some under the skin too.
2. Not all the rub will stick to the chicken -- that's okay.
3. TIP: I also like to pour about 1/2 stick of melted butter all over the chicken, after it has been seasoned and is sitting in the roasting pot.
