This bbq chicken rub is perfect any time you want to throw some chicken on the grill. It works on any cut of chicken and imparts a mild but delicious flavor.

It’s definitely barbecue weather here in the beautiful San Francisco East Bay. It’s all sunshine and sprinklers and everywhere you go around dinner time, you smell barbecues cookin’ up something delicious.

Lately, I’ve really been getting into doing different sorts of spice rubs, mostly for chicken because that’s mostly what I eat (I’ll be doing some for pork as well in the near future). I like that you can coat a piece of chicken in spices and not even necessarily have to add oil to them to get delicious, moist chicken hot off the grill. And the smell while they are grilling is just…. well…. summer at it’s best.

This particular rub has a little kick to it, so it may not be something that the kiddos will enjoy. But oh, is it yummy! The coriander is marvelous with a hint of cumin. It’s a heady combination.

So now, I think I’ll go fire up the grill, and while dinner is cooking, I’ll watch Mini Chef splash around in his kiddie pool and probably splash me in the process. Aaaahh…. the simple joys of summer.
