Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, breasts, and drumsticks

For the dry rub:

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1 tbsp Lawry's or other seasoned salt

For the sauce:

  • 1/2 cup your favorite bbq sauce (I like Sweet Baby Ray's)
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar

Instructions
 

For oven-roasted chicken:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Rinse your chicken and pat dry. Put the chicken pieces on the baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil.
  • Spoon the dry rub onto the chicken, making sure to coat on all sides.
  • Bake the chicken for 25 minutes and then remove from the oven.
  • Increase the oven temp to 450.
  • Brush all of the chicken with the bbq sauce mixture, coating all of the chicken. Return to the oven for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, make sure chicken has reached an internal temp of 165.

For grilling:

  • Preheat grill to 325.
  • Coat chicken with dry rub.
  • Start grilling the chicken skin side down for about 20 minutes. Flip chicken and grill for another 20 minutes.
  • Remove from grill and brush with bbq sauce. Return to grill for another 10 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165.
