    Simple, yummy, and uses common ingredients. I usually prefer to substitute honey for sugar, but as this was a rub rather than a marinade, I used brown sugar. I replaced the salt with chicken bouillon powder and added onion powder as well. Coated chicken legs with oil one by one on a baking pan to avoid using more oil than necessary, mixed rub ingredients, and coated chicken thoroughly in the pan to avoid wasting any of the spice mix on the inside of a plastic bag. I'd tripled the recipe and had enough left over after coating 10 chicken legs to fill a spice container halfway for future use. Oven-baked for 40 minutes after "marinating" for 5 hours. The chicken was yummy! Loved the slight sweetness along with the little bitty bite of this spice mix. My new Norwegian family doesn't handle spicy very well, so small nibbles for me are huge kicks for them, hehe!

    This was a keeper. It was too cold to grill outside so I cooked them on 400, and then finished them under the broiler for 3 minutes to crisp the skin. The chicken was very juicy.

    I LOVED the blend of spices.. Like one of the reviewrs said I too wasnt sure of the end result.I thought it would be dry .. But it was moist and juicy..I used tender drumstick pieces of chicken. I made a few alterations. I added 1 tsp of dry red chilly flakes to the marinate as I wanted mine to be a lil more spicy. I made slits through the chicken pieces so that the marinate seeps through to get that complete flavour. marinated for about five hours and grilled it on 2 for around 25 mins(I used tender chicken thats why it took lesser cooking time). But on the whol;e i loved the grilled chicken. would definitly recommend it to others.I guess next time i would try using honey instead of sugar..Will let u know how that turns out the next time i make it...Thanx a bunch Rita...
