Are you bored with the same old same old chicken recipes? Do you find yourself in a chicken rut? We are asked by our customers almost daily about ways to liven up their chicken dinners –
“What are the best rubs for chicken?” “What are some good spices for grilled chicken?” “What’s the best seasoning for chicken?” No matter how our customers ask the question they are all telling us the same thing – I’m tired of boring chicken and I want it to taste better. Well I hear you loud and clear and I love great tasting chicken and I want my palate to be surprised by different flavor nuances as much as possible. If you’re like many Americans you are trying to eat healthier which means less red meat and more chicken. But we all fall into ruts which is why I am constantly experimenting with new flavors for chicken. I worked on this particular recipe for over a month until I got it just right. I love spicy but I’m not always in the mood for hot. But then sometimes I’m craving some heat. Not crazy burn your face off heat but I’m searching for a kick and that was the mood I was in when I developed our Habanero Mango Chicken Rub. I get bored with cayenne pepper really easily as it is just hot and it really doesn’t have much flavor. So when I am going for some flavorful heat I go for the trusty Habanero. Yes it is more expensive but the resulting flavor is well worth it. For this blend I also wanted to have a bit of Caribbean style to it and I was dying to experiment with some dried mango – which when dried is called Amchur. The dried mango gives a bit of tartness to the flavor profile which I just loved. I also used my go to chile - Ancho as a base and the mild fruity flavor of this chile paired well with the dried mango. The subtle earthiness of the ancho also balances well with the heat and fruitiness of the habanero. Hand blended from ancho, habanero, amchur, onion, tomato powder, cilantro, spearmint, garlic, cumin, coriander and cloves. I like to seasoning my chicken liberally so I tend to go about 1 tablespoon of rub (or sometime more) per pound of chicken. You should start off with much less (say 1 teaspoon of rub per pound) and work your way up from there. It is always recommended that you start off with a bit less as you would rather be a bit under seasoned the first time you try a blend than over seasoned. If you’re a fan of habanero seasonings then you’ll also enjoy our Habanero Chile Seasoning and Habanero Hot Salt. If you’re looking for other ways to eliminate boring chicken then you certainly want to see our 18 Spice Chicken Rub, Flippin’ The Bird, Honey Chipotle Rub, Adobo Lime Rub and if your are really trying for some more exotic flavors then Herbs de Provence, Tandoori and Moroccan Chicken Rub just might be your thing. |
