Super Tasty Roast Rub

I've used pork and beef sirloin and they're always so delicious and moist! I LOVE the leftovers, the little there is. My husband and kids (especially the 1 and 3 year old AND my super picky 6 year old) LOVE it. No joke it's da bomb. I like to throw potatoes (scrubbed, stabbed and wrapped in foil) in the oven with it and steam a veggie. So good! I'm excited to try it on my next chicken. I tweaked a recipe I found on allrecipes. Makes a 3 lb roast.

Super Tasty Roast Rub

2 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried sage
2 Tbsp olive oil
3 lb pork sirloin roast, beef sirloin or whole chicken

1. Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Mix paprika, salt, garlic powder, pepper, oregano, thyme, sage and olive oil in small bowl. Let sit 5 minutes so spices can soak up oil (it spreads better this way). Place roast or chicken in baking dish; rub spice mixture over entire surface area, getting under the skin for a whole chicken.
2. Bake in preheated oven. Check for doneness at one hour.
        * For beef, once thermometer reads between 145 and 160, depending on desired doneness, take             out and place foil over it like a tent and let rest 10 minutes.
        * For pork, remove once meat   thermometer inserted in center reads 155 (takes about 1 hour 20            minutes in my oven, but may vary); remove and place foil over top like a tent. Let sit 10                      minutes, until thermometer in center reads at least 160.
         * For chicken thermometer should read 165. Let rest, also, 5 to 10 minutes before cutting.
Serve warm.
