HOW TO MAKE DRY RUB

My homemade dry rub recipe is the best I’ve ever tried. Simple dry rub components are all you need to produce your own chicken, ribs, steaks, hog, or turkey. Visit this page for a link to my dry-rub recipe.

HOW TO MAKE JUICY BAKED CHICKEN?

• I roasted the chicken with a dry rub for 30 minutes at 375°F in this recipe.
• Depending on the size of the chicken leg, it may take between 35 and 40 minutes to cook. It’s better to get organic chicken because its drumsticks are smaller and more tender and juicy.
• At the 20-minute mark, drizzle a little olive oil over the chicken. This will help keep the skin hydrated and shiny.
• Cooking the chicken past its doneness would just hasten their demise. At the 30-minute mark, conduct a last check. Check the inside of the chicken by making a small slit in the meat. A few more minutes of baking may be necessary if the heart is still bleeding.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/3 cup BBQ sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 lbs. (1 kg) chicken drumsticks
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 – 3 tablespoons meat dry rub

Instructions

1. Set the oven up to 190°C/375°F.
2. Gently dry the chicken drumsticks using paper towels after rinsing them in cold water. The skin and meat of the drumsticks should be liberally rubbed with a dry rub.
3. In a baking dish coated with parchment paper, place the chicken and roast it in the oven. Take the chicken out of the range at the 20-minute mark and brush it with olive oil. Ten minutes later, turn the drumsticks over and bake for another 10 minutes.
4. Cut a small slit into the meat of the chicken to check for doneness. Bake the meat for a further 5-10 minutes if necessary to ensure full completion of cooking. Barbecue the chicken and serve it with the sauce.

Notes

• To create your own dry rub, simply follow the directions in this post. Alternatively, you can buy bottled dry rub in the spices section of your local supermarkets.
• The chicken drippings on the baking sheet should not be thrown away. Scoop up the drippings and pour them over the chicken to keep them moist and flavorful.
• On either an outdoor or inside barbecue, you may cook the chicken to your liking.
