BBQ Chicken Pizza, Part I: The Rub

You will only need one chicken breast for this recipe, but feel free to marinate the remainder of the pack in the same stuff. This rub stands alone for great flavor when you're just grilling some chicken, but it makes for a sensational base for the wet sauce I make a little later.
  • 1/4 c Paprika
  • 1 tbsp Dark Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp celery salt
  • 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 1-3 tsp Cayenne Pepper, to taste. Dare greatly. Go for 3!
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
Wash, then dry off the chicken breast (s). Sprinkle some of the rub (you won't need it all) over both sides of the chicken, then rub it in. Throw the breasts into a ziploc bag, force out the excess air, seal, and refrigerate. Let marinade for 4-6 hours, turning the bag occasionally.

This is a fabulous rub! I make double batches and keep a baggie in the kitchen for whenever I want to give a quick pick-me-up to grilled chicken.
