Easy Chicken Dry Rub

Step 1

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Store in an airtight container until ready for use. Use immediately or store in an airtight container for later.

Step 2

Place chicken in a plastic bag or bowl. Sprinkle dry rub over chicken and toss until all pieces are evenly cover with the dry rub. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours or even overnight if you have to.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 400ºF. For easy cleanup, line a baking sheet with nonstick foil or foil coated with a nonstick spray. For boneless chicken bake 20 to 25 minutes, bone-in chicken 40 to 45 minutes until chicken is no longer pink or internal temperature reaches 165ºF.

Step 4

Preheat grill to medium (350º to 450ºF). Place chicken pieces on the grill and cook 25 to 30 minutes for bone-in chicken, and 8 to 10 minutes for boneless chicken - turning once. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink or the internal temperature reaches 165ºF. Note that larger pieces of chicken will require additional grilling time.
