• 1 whole Brioler/Fryer Chicken (approximately 3.5 pounds) |
• 1 Tbs Old Bay seasoning |
• 1 Tbs Lowery"s Season Salt |
• 1 Tbs Goya Adobo Seasoning Sauce |
• ¼ Tbs ground cinnamon |
• ¼ Tbs ground cumin |

• 1 Cup kosher salt |

When the chicken is done brining, remove form water and pat dry. Lift the skin from the meat and liberally apply the spice rub between the skin and meat, on the skin and inside the chicken body cavity.
