Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spiciness)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine all the ingredients listed above. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- Once your rub is ready, generously apply it to your chicken. Make sure to coat all sides for the best flavor! You can rub it in with your hands for better adhesion.
- Allow the chicken to marinate with the spice rub for at least 30 minutes. For optimal flavor, marinate in the fridge for a few hours or even overnight.
- When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, giving you juicy and tender chicken!
Serve your perfectly grilled chicken with your favorite sides, and watch as your friends and family rave about the incredible flavor. Enjoy the smoky, spicy goodness of your homemade dry rub spice mix! Happy grilling!
