Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp Onion powder
  • 1 tbsp Smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1 tsp Dried thyme
  • 1 tsp Ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp Brown sugar

Instructions:

  1. Place all savory base and aromatic layer ingredients into a small mixing bowl.
  2. Use a whisk or fork to break up any clumps of brown sugar or garlic powder until the color is uniform and the mixture is a consistent reddish-brown powder.
  3. Transfer the mix into an airtight glass jar, seal the lid tightly, and shake vigorously for 30 seconds to ensure ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Pat chicken dry and rub 1 tablespoon of seasoning per pound of meat, allowing it to rest for 15–30 minutes before cooking.
