The Ultimate Smoked Chicken Rub
The Ultimate Smoked Chicken Rub
There's nothing quite like a well made, smoked chicken. While it might take a little time and technique, the seasoning usually makes or breaks a smoked bird. This rub has the perfect blend of flavors for a delicious low and slow cooked chicken. This is enough rub for two large birds, so increase the recipe if planning to smoke a larger batch.
