Dry Rub for Beer-Can Chickens

[jschlik]

I'm going to do a couple beer can chickens and probably some ribs tomorrow. I need a good dry rub recipe.
There are a lot of good recipes for the cooking on here but nothing about how to make a good rub.
I would order some of this often used wolfe rub, but I am doing this tomorrow night and can't wait.

please help me show some California kids what real BBQ taste like.

Are you grilling or smoking. If smoking, more likely than not the skin will be rubbery so why waste the spice? If grilling, talking off the top of my head here but I'd start with:
1/4 cup kosher salt
2 to 3 TBSP fresh ground pepper
1 TB SP Chili Powder
1 TB SP Paprika
1 to 1.5 Tsp Cummin
A dash or two of mexican oregano
Add some brown sugar (let it get dry and powdery) is you like it sweet.

Again, I'm just talking off the top of my head. Gator (the Sheriff) is the real expert here as he would love to sell you some SUCKLEBUSTERS. Shameless plug for the Boss.

Thanks guys, both for the recipes and for the welcome.

I will be grilling on a propane grill. I will let yall know how the Chix turn out.

Is that a fourth of a cup of Paprika?

[OSD]

Yep, 1/4 cup remember after mixing everything together to taste and adjust the sugar and pepper to your taste.

just make sure you check the temp at the thigh and pull it off when it hits 180*

[DATsBBQ]

So, how did it turn out? anypix?

[Puff]

Make sure you get the rub underneath the skin

[jschlik]

Here's a couple pics. The beer can chicken turned out great.
The roommates were impressed and one of my friends who grew up in Atlanta said it was the best chicken he has ever had.

I did it for 2 hours at 300-350 on the propane grill.
