How to Make Barbecue Chicken Rub

  1. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Use your fingers to ensure thorough mixing and break up any clumps.
  2. For best results, let the rub sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended.
  3. Generously apply the rub to your chicken wings (or any other BBQ chicken!), ensuring even coverage.
  4. Grill, bake, or smoke your chicken according to your preferred method.
  5. Store leftover rub in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
