Description

This homemade chicken rub is a kitchen essential that transforms ordinary poultry into a flavorful feast. By combining classic Italian herbs like oregano and basil with savory garlic powder and a kick of red pepper flakes, you create a crust that is both fragrant and deeply satisfying. The blend is perfect for grilling, roasting, or pan-searing chicken breasts and thighs. It adds a professional touch to weeknight dinners without requiring any cooking skills beyond mixing and sprinkling. Store this versatile spice mix in a jar for quick, delicious meals that taste like they came from a restaurant kitchen.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the dried Italian herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to create the rub.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure the seasoning adheres properly.
  3. Generously sprinkle the chicken rub on both sides of the chicken, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray or heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet and cook for about 6 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook for an additional 10 to 12 minutes.
  7. Check that the internal temperature reaches 165&# 194;°F before removing from heat.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
