The Best Dry Rub for Chicken

This flavorful dry rub is an all-purpose seasoning blend that is delicious on chicken, but it’s also tasty on veggies & potatoes.

I’m always on the lookout for new homemade dry rub recipes, so our meals don’t get boring around here. I stumbled upon this easy chicken dry rub recipe on Simply Recipes and decided to give it a try because I luckily had everything I needed on hand.  I used this rub on chicken thighs, but it would work well on wings, breasts, drumsticks, or the whole bird. I love that it made simple roasted chicken thighs so flavorful and tasty.
