  • To use, apply generously (about 1 tablespoon per serving), and rub into chicken or pork. Allow to stand for 30 minutes prior to cooking.

Cook's Note

If you don’t have the ground oregano or basil spice ingredients try blending or food processing it to grind or just triple the measurement and use the flake instead of ground. If you think it's too peppery, use dried lemon peel instead of the lemon pepper.

I used a mixture of light brown sugar and granulated white sugar and I omitted the MSG (I'm sensitive to MSG, it gives me migraines). What I did was throw all the rub ingredients into a medium sized Tupperware container, slapped a lid on it, and handed it to my youngest boy to shake until the ingredients were well combined. I rubbed this on both chicken legs and pork ribs. EXCELLENT rub and it honestly tasted good on both meats. We grilled this over a charcoal grill which only made it better. We all were "mmmmmming" over this meat. Read More

This is a good recipe except for the MSG. I know too many people including myself that this would set off an allergic reaction. I would increase the kosher salt a little and eliminate the need for the MSG. Read More

I REALLY liked this rub--it is quick for when you don't quited know what to do with your chicken but are short on time. I used it on a package of drumsticks and scaled the recipe back to 8 servings. I didn't have the lemon pepper so I used a regular pepper blend and used reg. herbs instead of ground herbs. But the taste was really nice. I liked the sweetness that the sugar gave it. It is a KEEPER for me. Read More

Awesome dry rub; I left out the MSG though. Ive used this quite a bit already over the past 2 months. Always comes out great when I've used the grill. Highly recommend it!!!! Read More

Good on chicken - I didn't add the last 3 ingredients or the MSG. Only let it sit with the rub on it for about 10 mins also rather than 30 mins like is recommended. Still came out tasty - easy way to add a lot of flavor. Read More

Plato's Dry Rub Haiku: "Didn't grind my herbs used the rub on chicken breasts tasted really great!" I reduced the quantity of the recipe down for 2 chicken breasts that I liberally rubbed in the morning wrapped tightly in Saran wrap then grilled later in the day. Very flavorful! Read More

Like everyone else no MSG. Instead of the salt I used garlic salt instead of garlic powder. Rubbed on pic o the chix and let sit for maybe 20 min. Grill was being serviced so cooked on convection then grill (when it was ready). Nice very nice thanks for sharing! Will be using again. Read More
