Chicken Dry Rub
Chicken Dry Rub
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons non-iodized salt
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground thyme
- 1 teaspoon rubbed sage
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 whole chickens, skin removed and separated into white and dark meat parts
Directions
Mix dry ingredients together in a small bowl and rub into the chicken, making sure to get the rub into the nooks and crannies. Let rub sit on the chicken for up to 12 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat a grill to medium heat.
Place dark meat on the grill first because it has a longer cooking time than white meat. Grill until the internal temperature of the chicken is 180 degrees F for all parts except the breasts and is 165 degrees F for the breasts when measured with an instant-read thermometer. When chicken is almost finished grilling, baste it with a generous amount of barbecue sauce all over the meat. Save any leftover sauce for dipping.
