Fennel pollen and hot peppers combine in a bold spice rub. This recipe makes enough rub for two chickens, but it is also delicious on pork and lamb.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Wild Fennel Pollen
- 2 teaspoons Las Hermanas Pimentón de La Vera DOP
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon finely ground Black Tellicherry Peppercorns
- 1/2 teaspoon Chili Flakes
- one 2- to 3-pound chicken
- 2-3 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
Blend the first five ingredients in a small bowl.
Rub the chicken all over with 2 - 3 tablespoons of softened butter, then sprinkle generously with the spice rub. (You will only need about half the rub for one 3-pound chicken.)
Roast the chicken in a 450°F degree oven for 45 - 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.
