Sweet And Spicy Rub For Roasted Chicken

• 2-1/2 tablespoons Spice Islands Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Spice Islands Onion Powder
• 2 tablespoons Spice Islands Garlic Powder
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 1 tablespoon oregano, leaf
• 1 tablespoon Spice Islands Basil, Sweet
• 1-1/2 teaspoons Spice Islands Thyme, Ground
• 1 teaspoon Spice Islands Pepper, Black Fine Grind
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper, cayenne
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 pounds 4-5 pounds whole roasting chicken
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable Plus! Oil

1. Preheat oven to 325u0b0F.
2. Combine paprika, onion and garlic powder, salt, oregano, basil, thyme, black pepper and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
3. Combine 3 tablespoons of rub mixture with the brown sugar; set aside. Place remaining rub mixture (about 1/2 cup) in an airtight container to store for future use.
4. Rinse the chicken and pat dry; place in a shallow pan. Rub oil over all sides of the chicken. Distribute the rub over the chicken, generously coating all surfaces.
5. Roast for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, until done (juices should run clear and a meat thermometer inserted in thigh should register 180u0b0F).
6. TIP: Serve on a bed of seasoned rice. To make, add 1 teaspoon rub seasoning to the cooking water of 2 cups rice. This will yield 6 cups cooked rice.
7. Serving suggestions: Use rub on ribs, pork chops, turkey breast or even grilled chicken!
