Clucker Dust Chicken Rub
Sweet, savory and a little smoky from chipotle. Our #1 seller for chicken.
What it tastes like
Brown sugar and sea salt up front, then chipotle and chile peppers for a smoky warmth. It cooks into a deep red color on the grill, so the chicken looks as good as it tastes. One customer put it best: "sweet and savory with a nice kick, and adds a nice color to the chicken."
What it's best on
Chicken thighs, drumsticks, wings, breasts, spatchcocked or whole birds. It also works on pork chops.
How to use it
- Pat the chicken dry and shake on an even coat on all sides.

Questions people ask
How hot is Clucker Dust?
Medium. The heat comes from chipotle, and the sugar keeps it friendly. If you want real heat, add SPG Hot or Bamm Sweet Heat.
Will it burn on the grill?
Any rub with sugar can scorch over high direct heat. Cook over medium, or start indirect and finish over the coals.
Is it good on wings?
Yes. For a straight-up wing seasoning, we also make Chicken Wing Seasoning.
