Notes

Generously apply the best DIY Poultry Dry Rub to a whole chicken, chicken thighs, or chicken breasts and let the meat season for at least 15 minutes before cooking. The rule of thumb is 1 tablespoon of dry rub for every pound of meat.

Combine this rub with 1/2 cup neutral oil to make an easy marinade for your chicken. Great for indoor grilling or baking.

Remember to apply the dry rub between the skin and the meat to improve flavor.
