Casca de limão

I used this as a dry rub for chicken thighs and the lemon zest really brightened up the flavor without being too tart. The pepper gives it a nice mild kick, and the sweetness balances everything out perfectly.

This lemon pepper has a perfect balance of citrus and heat, and the zest flecks are actually visible in the mix. I used it as a dry rub for chicken thighs, and the sweet-tart crust it created was fantastic. My only small wish is that the pepper had a slightly coarser grind for more texture.

I was skeptical about mixing lemon with pepper, but the zest in this blend gives grilled chicken a refreshing kick that plain pepper just can’t match. The texture is coarser than I expected, which makes it perfect for rubbing into meat before cooking.
