💡 If you altered the ingredients above by doubling or tripling the recipe, you may also need to change the pan/dish size and adjust the cook time.

Notes

Yield is approximately 3/4 cup, or 12 servings at 1 tablespoon each.
Use about 1 tablespoon per pound of chicken for light seasoning, or up to 2 tablespoons per pound for stronger flavor.
For best flavor, use the dry mix within 1 year and store it in an airtight container away from heat, light, and moisture.
If rubbed onto raw chicken ahead of time, refrigerate and cook within 1 to 2 days.
Prep time is an estimate based on measuring and mixing the spices.

  1. This chicken rub mix is a total lifesaver for weeknight dinners! 🍗💥 I love that you can make a big batch and store it for later—it’s perfect for grilling, roasting, or even sprinkling on veggies.

    🌿 If you want a smoky twist, try adding some smoked paprika. 🔥 Anyone tried this rub on other meats like pork or beef? It’s so versatile, I imagine it would be amazing on anything!

  2. I made the seasoned chicken rub mix and it was delicious! I used a combination of paprika, garlic powder, onion power, salt & pepper. It would also be great on pork or beef too. Next time I may cut down on the amount of salt because it is very salty but other than that this recipe is perfect.
