Such a tasty seasoning recipe and I will be using this on repeat in the coming months! We tried it on some grilled chicken, but the opportunities are endless as to how this is used.

I used this rub on roasted butterflied small chickens. I make chicken this way about once a week and use different rubs. This one is a new favourite, easy to make and adds a great flavour!
