BBQ Chicken Rub

By

In my opinion good BBQ chicken should be a little sweet, a little spicy , and a little sticky. This BBQ chicken rub provides all of those things. It only makes 1/4 of a cup but that will be more than enough for 8 thighs and 8 legs, with probably a little left over for later.

This is my go to for BBQ chicken, it pairs great with any BBQ sauce and always delivers a crispy skin. One thing I will warn about is due to the brown sugar this will burn quickly if left over direct heat.
