This is spice rub is perfect for grilled chicken.  I like to use my finger to separate the skin from the meat a little bit and put some rub under the skin.  Don’t worry if the rub blackens a little bit–it won’t taste charred unless it is totally black.

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup kosher salt
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ¼ paprika
• 2 tsbp black pepper
• 2 tbsp dried oregano
• 2 tbsp dried thyme
• 1 tbsp dried chipotle pepper

Steps:

1. Combine all the ingredients together.  Seal in a jar for storage.
