I enjoy making my own spice blends. They taste fresher to me. It seems like each individual spice is more pronounced, and so the flavor shines through. The added benefit of not having weird ingredients or preservatives is also good!
When I make a "rotisserie" style whole chicken, this Rotisserie Chicken Spice Rub is the only thing I put on the bird before I roast it.
Sometimes I will put some lemon and onion inside the cavity of the bird for extra moisture and flavor, but that's all it will need. It's delicious!
You can easily make this Rotisserie Chicken Spice Rub with commonly found spices, most of which you probably already have in your pantry!
Also, you can control how much salt you add in case you want something low-sodium.
• A Mason jar or spice bottles that you buy online are great to use.
• I like to save jars that come with good lids and store my spice blends in them. They are air-tight and I can easily see how much is in there.
• I usually stick a piece of masking tape on the bottom and write the name of the blend on it.
This is what I call a "Fauxtisserie" Chicken because I pressure cooked it in my Instant Pot®. It came out so tender and juicy! This chicken seasoning blend was perfect on it! Instant Pot Whole Chicken

Does this spice blend make the chicken taste like the stereotypical rotisserie chickens you buy in the store?
Sandy
Not exactly, but the cooking method has a lot to do with the flavor. Actual rotisserie vs pressure cooking or air frying, for example, will all taste a little different. This is my version of a rotisserie chicken spice rub. It is very tasty!

Is this the same as rotisserie chicken seasoning
Sandy
It's similar, but my own version.

I was surprised at how this rub tasted and spiced up your air fryer whole chicken recipe. This is a great rub for any meat dish. I doubled the recipe and put it in an empty, glass spice jar I had. Sandi, I want to make a large batch and I’m asking how long you think this would last in my spice jar? I’m sure others, once they try this, may want to know, also? Thanks again for another home-run recipe!
Sandy
I'm so glad you like the spice rub! You can keep the rub in your airtight glass container for 1-2 years! Just keep it in a place that doesn't get too warm, or has moisture.

All the Instant Pot recipes I've tried so are are great! I'm trying my hand at doing 2 Cornish Game Hens instead of one big chicken. I'm going to use rub from recipe & place in "small smoker" on "smoke" setting for maybe 1 hour & then cooking in Instant Pot for recommended time/per lbs. 🙏Hoping for the best on this deviation! Will return w/results.

Just bought my Instant Pot to make my own yogurt but now want to expand and try other things.
Sandy
That's great Donna! Let me know what you make!
