    Place 1 cup (201 g) of brown sugar, 3 tbsp. (21.7 g) of dry mustard, 2 tbsp. (14.5 g) of garlic powder, 2 tbsp.(14.5 g) of onion powder, 1 tsp. (5 g) of seasoning salt, 1/4 tsp. (0.5 g) of cayenne pepper, 1 1/2 tsp. (3.1 g) of smoky chipotle powder. ,,,,, You can use many types of chicken for dry rubs, such as breasts, thighs, wings, drumsticks and any mixture of them.
