I marinate chicken initially, using teriyaki and pineapple juice 3:1. I use my own rub of garlic (40%), onion(30%)black pepper (10%), chili powder(10%), smoked paprika (8%), and a touch of cayenne (balance of mix) Percentages are approximate, but it works for all of us, which have very different tastes.
everyone seems to like it. I d not use the salt, I get the sodium from the marinade.
Hope this helps."Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

Thanks @YukonRon !

Try a dry rub. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, some season salt, and lemon zest. Go under skin on whole chickens.------------------------------

I like the Montreal chicken season for something quick and easy. If you are looking for more of a BBQ flavor I really like the Oak Ridge Secret weapon or Game Bird and Chicken.

If you are looking for something more herb-y then try something like Carolina Q's Wow Chicken.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -

Afterwards, I apply enough dry rub for complete coverage of the pieces.
When I want a crispier skin, I will add some cornmeal to the rub. The skin is good when it is done without the corn meal, but sometimes the children beg for crispy."Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

Did someone say WOW? Here's one of my favorites. Though the last time I did it, I didn't make a paste. I just oiled the bird first, then applied the dry rub. Either way works though I think I like the dry rub a little better. This is the paste... http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1166301/wow-chicken/p1
Coffee rub is good too.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

For boneless skinless l like a marinade. Don't really use bought stuff.
I like to infuse my oil though, seems to pack more flavor.
Heat canola oil, with fresh garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano. Let cool and add lemon zest and the juice of lemon.
I pound the breasts out or sometimes butterfly if really thick. I also poke holes for optimum flavor throughout.------------------------------

Thanks guys/gals. I have several of the rubs mentioned including Secret Weapon, Raging River and Firewalk. All of them are just "meh" on a bird in my opinion. I haven't found a Dizzy Pig product that I really like so I quit buying them a while back.
After I posted this, I remembered Herr Mickey's coffee rub. I've never used it but I use a coffee based rub on brisket. What's the consensus on that for a bird? -
This is the best chicken I've made on the egg. Not a rub, but fantastic.

I have some in the pantry and have used it for years but only use it on fish! I have some wings I plan on doing tomorrow so I will try it on some of them.

I have no idea on the reds because I no longer live in Jupiter, I'm retired and spend the summers in West Jefferson NC, winters in Okeechobee FL. I grew up in Palm Beach county and fished from Sebastian to the Keys for 50 years. Now most of my fishing is in the NC streams for trout and Lake Okeechobee for Crappie! Trout fishing was great this summer and I'm hoping for a good catch this winter.

Mickeys coffee rub is great on a bird and I also like Cluck and Squeal All Purpose on a bird. Did you try the cookies flavor enhancer! That stuff rocks on chicken!

Part I Spatchcock or Whole Chicken:
If you want an herb based flavor for a change of pace, just don't go too heavy.
Bonus: FWIW I alternate between their beef offering and Holy Cow for burgers, steaks and brisket. (Amazon sells the szeged chicken and steak rubs together.)
