If poultry is on the menu, then a homemade chicken rub is just the thing! This easy to make blend of dried lemon peel and herbs and spices will season and flavour beautifully and add mouthwatering aromas whether you're grilling, frying or slow cooking your bird.

What You'll Need: (makes about 9-10 tablespoons)

3 tbsp cumin seeds
2 tbsp dried oregano
2 tbsp dried basil
1 tbsp dried lemon peel (optional)
4 tsp black peppercorns
4 tsp paprika
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp mustard powder
2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp cayenne pepper

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

Directions:

Grind the salt, peppercorns, cumin and lemon peel, and if using, the lemon peel

Add to a bowl

Stir in the mustard, paprika, onion, cayenne and garlic powders

Finally, crumble in the oregano and basil and stir again

Store your dry rub for chicken in an airtight jar, in a cool place and out of direct sunlight. Use within 6 months before making a fresh amount.

Note: Dried lemon peel is easily available online or, if you're feeling adventurous, you can make it yourself. However, it is optional so you could leave it out if you wish. You'll still have a fab tasting blend but without a lemony twist!
