Simple Rub, Big Flavor

Smoked paprika gives chicken a deep, campfire-like flavor without a grill. Combined with garlic powder, brown sugar, and salt, it creates a balanced crust.

Ingredients

2 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp kosher salt

How to Use

Pat chicken dry. Mix rub ingredients and coat chicken generously on all sides. Let rest 15 minutes (or up to 4 hours in fridge). Grill at 375F for 6-7 min per side, or roast at 425F for 25-30 min until internal temp hits 165F.
