What do you rub your chicken with for smokin' ?

[cayenne]

Hi all,

Ok, I'm getting itchy to fire up my new offset again soon...thinking chicken.

I'm planning to spatchcock my bird for this....and likely will salt brine it.


But for seasoning it...what do ya'll use to make a rub for your bird?

Do you do the same for chicken as you do for turkey?

I'm looking mainly for DIY seasoning mixes....not store bought rubs.....

Thank you in advance!!!

I do Harvest Brine for my Turkey. For my chicken I put it in Thirdeye's lite brine from his blog. My favorite rub is Smoke'n Dudes Chicken rub. Plowboys Yardbird is good also

I typically keep it simple with plain old SPOG

Old Bay actually works for me.

I got Smoke'n Dudes when in PA. I dont know if they do mail order. Thirdeye is a member here. Go to his page and check out the recipes in his blog. Plowboys Yardbird is great on Pulled Pork too- check Amazon. Old Bay Seasoning is Great on Poultry

+1 for Yardbird

After some not-very-edible experimentation, my go to chicken rub is now a very complex, difficult to mix blend of rare herbs and spices.

Salt and Pepper. :wink:

Yard Bird is very good, it's just salty.
Kosmos Dirty Bird is really good too.

I think onion and garlic powder are typical for most of us. Easy to apply like salt & pepper.

My favorite rub is a recipe I got from another site. It's called "Shooter Rick's Snake Bitten Chicken". It's a Jerk seasoning, that includes Wasabi powder. I can't hardly eat Chicken off the grill without it anymore.

I like McCormick Montreal Chicken. I also found a chicken seasoning at Wally World called Chef Merito's Pollo. It's not the healthiest choice but dang it's good.

Simply Marvelous Santa Maria is really good on chicken and fish but like most rubs is too salty if over applied. I wish store bought didn't include salt so you could add your own.

Ok thank you!!

Of late, I've moved from using garlic powder to granulated garlic.

There's SO much humidity in the air here in New Orleans 24/7...that fine powders tend to clump up and cake into hard balls rather quickly.....

I find the granulated stuff does not...wish they made granulated onion....I suppose I can just take onion flakes and run them through the food processor or the spice mill.....
