Grilled Chicken Rub
Description
Grilled Chicken Rub is a prepared spice blend that is rubbed onto chicken prior to grilling, specifically over chicken drizzled with olive oil. The blend includes salt, Italian herbs or Herbs de Provence, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dry mustard, brown sugar, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. This mixture provides layers of savory, smoky, and slightly sweet flavors with a mild heat, complementing the grilled chicken.
When grilled, the rub helps form a seasoned outside crust that locks in juices. The process yields chicken enhanced both in taste and aroma, making it suitable as either a main dish served alongside sides or cut up for use in other recipes. The herb blend adds an aromatic note, while the paprika and cayenne provide color and a touch of heat balanced by the brown sugar's mild sweetness.
Use the rub by whisking it together and storing it in an airtight container. Rub it evenly over chicken that has been coated with olive oil before placing on the grill until cooked through. Leftover seasoned chicken can be sliced or diced for salads, sandwiches, or other meal components, extending the usefulness of this seasoning mix.
