How to Make Bigjay's Dry Barbecue Rub

  1. Toast 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and 1 teaspoon of coriander seeds in a small, dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them!
  2. Allow the toasted seeds to cool slightly.
  3. Combine the toasted cumin and coriander seeds with 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon paprika (smoked paprika preferred), 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or less, to taste), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a spice grinder or coffee grinder.
  4. Grind until you reach your desired consistency – coarsely ground for a more textured rub, or finely ground for a smoother finish.
  5. Generously rub the spice mixture all over your chicken before roasting.
  6. Roast chicken according to your preferred method and enjoy!
