Name: Spice Rub for Smoked Chicken (Dry Brine Rub)
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 5 min
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon kosher salt (I recommend Diamond Crystal brand); 1 tablespoon brown sugar; 2 teaspoons paprika; 1 teaspoon granulated onion (or onion powder); 1 teaspoon granulated garlic (or garlic powder); 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional); 3 tablespoons olive oil

This rub for smoked chicken is easy to make, is packed with flavor, and it will keep your meat moist and tender. It&#39;s my go-to recipe for this Whole Smoked Chicken Recipe, and it&#39;s also incredible on smoked wings, breasts, chicken legs and more. The rub acts like a dry brine, drawing in moisture to keep the meat moist while smoking. The olive oil creates deliciously crispy skin. The cayenne give the chicken skin a delicious spicy kick, but you can omit it or reduce the quantity if you prefer.
