What is a good (great) HOMEMADE Chicken Rub recipe?
I have the best homemade rib recipe (Big Bob Gibson's Memphis Dry Rub)
Now I'm looking for something for the bird. I like grilling wings, breast, legs, indirect spatchcock whole birds and turkey.

If you can share you Best Chicken Rum recipe, I thank you in advance.
 
Liitle confused? You say HOMEMADE rub, but mention Bob Gibson's rub as your rib fav.
Is that not a production produced rub?
I may have missed something?
 
Here's one I've been fond of for that past 30 + years....... Just keep mad scientist it and you'll find your perfect fit. My Dad came up with this 30 years ago and I've tweaked it a bit. Have fun......

Chicken Rub

2 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground marjoram
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper


Combine all ingredients in a jar with a tight fitting lid and shake to combine. Apply liberally to chicken, rub into pieces and tightly wrap chicken in plastic wrap. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 24 hours. Smoke according to your favorite recipe and enjoy!
 
Any BBQ pork rub will work for chicken also.

I use a simple base rub and adjust amounts and ingredients to fit my taste at the time of the cook.

4 Tbsp Kosher salt
4 Tbsp garlic powder
3 Tbsp ground bay leaves
2 Tbsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp sweet paprika
½ Tbsp rubbed sage

This has a lot of the same ingerdence that the Chris Lilly Rib rub has. Exspecially the marjoram. I think that the marjoram might have a little sweet taste to it.

I guess I'm old school when it comes to chicken. I think it's hard to beat EVOO with plain salt and black pepper. On my next chicken cook I plan to expand my horizons a little and brine the chicken first. I have never done that before...
 
Most often, I go simple with olive oil, crushed garlic, kosher salt, medium grind black pepper and citrus zest. Although, I have added Beau monde, reduced the salt and enjoyed it. The other thing I do is add oregano and thyme to the first 5 ingredients I listed.
 
i did a chicken test cook today with a mixture of 1 part bubba q all purpose and one part uncle henrys pecan rub, and it was off the chain good.not home made, but home mixed
 
this word document is found in the recipe forum or on an actual thread called rubs and sauces? i used the search here BUT get a lot of results back.

thanks
 
here is one i like to use. If i dont have enough spices, i will use lawrys seasoned salt and thats it. maybe some sugar mixed with it. BUT if i do have all the ingredients i like:

Because i love this place. here is a fun one to use

3-4 tbls white sugar
1/2 tbls minced garlic and a pinch of garlic salt

3/4 tbls lawrys or homemade seasoned salt
1 tsp celery salt

1 tsp cayenne
1 tbls ground black pepper
