Chicken Rub

This chicken rub blends brown sugar, paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and optional cayenne pepper to create a balanced seasoning with sweetness, smoky depth, and mild heat. It’s designed to enhance the flavor of chicken or pork when applied before cooking.

Description

The Chicken Rub consists of a mixture of packed brown sugar for sweetness, paprika for color and mild smoky flavor, kosher salt for seasoning, freshly ground black pepper for a peppery bite, garlic powder and onion powder to add savory depth, and optional cayenne pepper to introduce heat. Whisking these dry ingredients together creates a versatile rub that clings well to meat surfaces.

The rub can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to six months, making it a convenient option for regular use. Before cooking, applying the rub to chicken or pork and allowing it to rest for 30 minutes enables the spices to permeate the meat, improving flavor and potentially aiding in browning during cooking.
