1/2 tsp Dried Oregano

Notes

This recipe is enough for one whole chicken (3–4 lbs) or about 3–4 generous tablespoons of rub. It’s perfect for oven-roasted, grilled, air-fried, or even slow-cooked chicken.
You can adjust the heat by reducing cayenne or skip the smoked paprika if you want a milder blend.
Store it in an airtight spice jar in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
Use it on more than chicken! Try it on roasted veggies, potatoes, or tofu for a smoky, savory kick.
