Can I customize the chicken spice rub?
You can customize this rub to change the flavor. It’s not very spicy at all – so you could add some more chili powder if you like more spice.
How to Use this dry rub
I like to use chicken tenderloins and sprinkle it right onto the chicken. Be generous with the spices! Or if you are going to cook it on the grill, drizzle a little bit of oil over the chicken, then sprinkle as much rub as you want all on the chicken. If you are using boneless, skinless chicken breasts make sure you pound the meat to a uniform thickness for even cooking.
I also love to sprinkle chicken tenderloins with this seasoning and coat a cash iron skillet with olive oil. They take just a few minutes to cook and they are so juicy and flavorful!

Tips for the perfect chicken recipe:
- Remove the chicken from the fridge about 15 minutes before you plan to cook it.
- Pound chicken: I have a cheap mallet from Walmart that’s supposed to be part of my husband’s tools. But I stole that from him and it’s perfect to pound the chicken inside a Ziploc bag to get all the chicken the same size!
- If you are grilling make sure you preheat your grill to medium high heat, approximately 375-400°F.
- Rub this seasoning mixture over both sides of the chicken. You can also drizzle a little olive oil over the chicken before you add the spice rub.
- Grill each side of the chicken for 4-7 minutes depending on thickness or until no longer pink. Use a thermometer to get the internal temperature to 165*. You never want to cut the chicken open because that will dry it out.
- Let it rest! In order for it to stay juicy, let it rest for about 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
