Favorite rub for chicken?

hello everyone,
can anyone recommend a good rub for chicken? I see lots geared towards pork and beef but haven’t seen much for chicken.

I will recommend a few as some may be more readily available to you.
- Dizzy Pig Raging River
- Rub your Chicken
- Clicker dust by Suckle Busters
- Papa Charlie’s from John Henry
- Plowboys Yardbird
I could go on and on. Items 1,2, and 4 are not basic traditional bbq chicken rubs where as the other two are just that. Meat church makes a fabulous brine for poultry that is pricey, but worth every penny. Brining will raise your game significantly. I like the meat church brine and a dusting of 1,2,or 4 personally, but it’s all great. Good luck -
I’ve recently gone ‘back to basics’ - Salt & Pepper.I've slow smoked and eaten so much pork, I'm legally recognized as being part swine - Chatsworth Ca.
-
When looking to change it up I enjoy Tony Chachere's creole seasoning.
Weber makes a Kickin' Chicken rub that also works for me. FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -
I like this, but dusted lightly. Too much can be overpowering.

Wilma likes Old Bay. Others we like are S&P, Mediterraneanish, Raging River...etc. Chicken is a blank canvass and the sky's the limit!Flint, Michigan

Dizzy Pig's Shaking the Tree is a good lemon pepper still or you could make Simon & Garfunkel rub(just run a search for it).
-
McCormick's Perfect Pinch Caribbean Jerk is one I've gotten to like.
-
Today I’m trying Meat Church Garlic and Herb. It’s one of their new ones. I tasted it and thought it would prolly be best on a Prime rib roast, but I’m giving it a whirl on the bird. I’ll let you all know what my opinion is when full.

Buffalo Wild Wings has their seasonings for sale. We like the Desert Heat quite a bit. Especially on chicken thighs.

S&P and some choice of dried herbs such as oregano, rosemary, Italian seasoning. I also have one called Meditalian rub that is essentially the above in premixed form (first ingredient in the label is 'Spice', thanks a whole bunch...)

Agree with several already mentioned, especially Papa Charlie’s and Shakin the Tree. Would also add DP mole and mad max, twisted Q magic mojo, The Rub Co Santa Maria style. This is my absolute favorite for chicken thighs:

@Acn I’m gonna give that a try as I love jerk chicken,there’s a place on the east coast called the spice house,I found them online 4 years ago.they sell jerk chicken seasoning.you mix their spices with oil,orange juice and lime juice and marinade over night.its off the chart good,I just made my last batch a few weeks ago and it was as good as it was the first time after sitting in my cupboard for years.

So sorry. Not sure what I did wrong

My Grandmother made a vinegar based dip, not a rub (hey we are in NC BBQ country) It was the best I've had when I was a kid and Dad was grilling. If you are intrested I'll dig out the exact recipe. Man that brings back memories of me and my Dad sharpening a stick and throwing little apples I know 50 yards, seemed like 200 at the time.
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.
