Chicken Rub

A multi-use homemade dry spice rub for chicken that is subtly sweet, smokey and with a little kick.

📝 Ingredients

• 1/2 tsp granulated garlic and/or onion
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper ((optional for extra heat))

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Measure out all of the ingredients onto a sheet of parchment paper if planning to put the rub into a shaker, or place them directly into an airtight container or bowl.
2. 2Ensure all brown sugar clumps are mashed so they do not burn during cooking.
