Need ideas for seasonings that will give chicken some flavor.

I'm baking a whole chicken tomorrow and I'm tired of it not having much flavor. What do you put on your chicken to give it more flavor? Any ideas are appreciated.

I love roasted chicken and always make it the same way woth garlic, olive oil and lemon. For a change I bookmarked a recipe for a rub on All Recipes that was good and easy. I let the rub sit for 4-5 hours on the chicken in the fridge but I baked it for an 1 1/2 - 2 hours at 350 for a 5-6 lb chicken. This recipe calls for 5 hours at 250.

Thanks I'm trying to find different things that will improve the taste. I thought about trying those injection seasonings and injecting it into the chicken to see if that would be good.

in the spanish section of the grocery store theres a seasoning in a big bottle called mojo you marinate your chicken in it and it is to die for. fairly cheap and its so good

I've never heard of it but if it gives chicken a good flavor I'm going to add it to my list to pick up. I'm really tired of bland chicken. I love trying new things.

I like to add fresh basil to chicken..Rosemary is good also..I gently life the skin and insert the fresh herb between the meet and the skin..

I have taken fresh lemon or oranges and used the juice as a marinade but put the 1/2 or 1/4 sections into the bird along with some butter and sage.

I make a marinade using canned papaya juice as a base..will add some pineapple juice along with garlic, salt peppers..This will give a sweet crispy texture to the skin when the sugars carmelize (sp?)...and also a lot of juicyness to the meat.

That sounds really good too. I bet it would have really good flavor too. I like all of you're suggestions.

Sage is wonderful with chicken.

A trick I learned from our son is to use white wine mixed with melted butter. This not only keeps the everything moist, it gives it a wonderful flavor and the chicken or turkey will be a deep golden brown.

I've never heard of using wine I bet it would give it a different flavor.

I use Italian dressing and just inject the chicken with it. I think it tastes good that way.

I just put Emerils seasoning on it. But I love that on anything!! Potatoes, pork chops, and chicken.
