Rich colorful spice rub

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup paprika
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your liking)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon oregano

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, thyme, and oregano. Mix it all together real good until you’ve got a nice, even blend.
  2. Grab your chicken and pat it dry with paper towels. You want that rub to stick, so moisture is not your friend here.
  3. Coat the chicken generously with the spice mix. Don’t be shy, y’all—make sure every piece is getting that delicious love. If you’ve got time, let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow those flavors to penetrate the meat. If you can, hit it with the rub the night before and let it marinate in the fridge for the ultimate flavor.
  4. When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill or oven. Cook your chicken until it reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F, turning occasionally to get that nice golden-brown exterior.
  5. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve it up hot and watch it disappear. Trust me, your crew will be coming back for seconds—maybe even thirds!

This dry rub spice mix will have you covered whether you’re grilling up for your next backyard party or just whipping up some dinner at home. Get ready for some mouthwatering BBQ that’ll have everyone asking for your secret. Enjoy, y’all!
