Backyard Chicken Rub

This bright, herb‑forward grilling rub is built for clean, everyday chicken seasoning without relying on salt or sugar. Sweet paprika lays down warm color, while granulated garlic and onion powder create a savory backbone that browns beautifully on the grill. Dried thyme and oregano bring a classic backyard‑herb aroma, black pepper adds gentle bite, and mustard powder sharpens the blend with a subtle tang. Smoked paprika deepens the flavor with a hint of natural smoke, while cayenne and celery seed deliver a light, lively finish. Designed specifically for grilled chicken breasts, thighs, drumsticks, and skewers, this rub sticks well, caramelizes evenly, and keeps the flavor bright and balanced. It’s clean, versatile, and dependable — perfect for weeknight grilling, meal prep, or anyone cooking low‑sodium without sacrificing taste.
