BBQ Rubbed Chicken Breasts

A good BBQ rub transforms a plain chicken breast into something special. This blend of smoky, sweet, and savory spices creates a beautiful crust on the outside while keeping the meat juicy and tender. It takes just a few minutes to season and about 25 minutes in the oven.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp BBQ seasoning
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic granules
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp Redmond Real Salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Mix the BBQ seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic granules, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then coat with the spice blend.
  4. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • The BBQ Seasoning already contains salt, so taste before adding extra. You may not need as much.
  • Pound the chicken to even thickness before seasoning for more even cooking.
  • Slice and use for salads, rice bowls, or sandwiches throughout the week.
  • Brush with a little honey during the last 5 minutes of baking for a sticky, sweet glaze.
