How To Make Barbecue Dry Rub Lime Chicken

Start off by spraying the grill with a non stick spray and heat the grill over low/medium flame. Add all the spices and seasonings to a large baggie. Shake to mix and place a few chicken breasts into mix. Seal and shake to coat. Remove and repeat for the remaining breasts. Once all the chicken pieces have been coated, place on the grill. Squeeze fresh lime juice over each piece of chicken and grill for approximately 10 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the breasts.

Dry Rub Seasoning

The dry rub is a mix of spices that most likely are already in the pantry. Coating any choice of meat with a good dry rub mix tastes great and adds a lot more flavor when grilled.
