ingredients, no wars will break out, but we think the sage, bay leaf, and rosemary are essential. Crushed bay leaf may be hard to find so you can use whole bay leaves. Just take about 10 leaves and crush them with a mortar and pestle, spice grinder, or blender. The pepper will add a little heat, but you can cut it out if you're a wimp or amp it up if you're a tough guy.
Makes. About 1⁄4 cup, enough for about 8 large whole chickens Takes. 10 minutes
Ingredients
2 tablespoons dried crushed sage
1 tablespoon dried crushed parsley
1 tablespoon dried crushed rosemary 1 tablespoon dried crushed thyme
1 tablespoon dried crushed oregano 1 tablespoon dried crushed basil
1 tablespoon dried crushed bay leaf 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sugar
Where's the salt? We have left the salt out of this recipe. Read why in Meathead’s article on the Science of Rubs.
Optional. If you want a capsaicin jolt, go for it. Start with 1⁄2 teaspoon of chipotle powder.
Method
1| Prep. Measure everything and dump it into a blender. Put the lid on the blender (very important), and run it on medium for a few seconds, turn it off, and run it again. Continue pulsing until you have a powder. Dump the whole thing in a jar and label it.
