Spicy BBQ Chicken Rub
Jan 30
Here is a rub that I came up with that I’m hoping to use in a contest this year. It’s only 4 degrees outside, so I’m going to try this rub, along with a method I learned about for making chicken skin perfect when cooking, low and slow in the oven at the temps I want on the cooker. I realize this is sac-relig, but it will give me a good idea of the results for both the skin technique and the rub (and a good dinner!). I’ll link this to that recipe…but here’s this if it’s all you need!
