Country Roast Chicken Seasoning

6 ingredients Cuisine: American Page updated October 2026

This is a big-batch rub for roast chicken, built on a full cup of paprika that gives the skin a deep red colour. Rosemary and thyme bring the herbal side, lemon pepper adds sharpness, and chipotle powder gives a smoky heat that builds slowly. It takes ten minutes and no cooking, and one batch will season many birds.

Instructions

Measure all of the spices into a bowl or straight into a large airtight container: the paprika, salt, lemon pepper, rosemary, thyme and chipotle powder.

Stir or shake the mixture well until the colour is even and no streaks of any single spice remain. Break up any clumps of salt or powder with the back of a spoon as you go.

Seal the container tightly and store it away from heat and light. Shake it briefly before each use, since the heavier salt can settle to the bottom.
