Barbecue sauce is tasty and all, but the typical store-bought brands are loaded with sugar and preservatives. Instead, spice up your grilled chicken—a classic fit-guy staple—with this easy mix of herbs and spices. (It’s also perfect for fish or pork.)

Prep time 10 min.

Cook time 18 min.

Ingredients

1 tsp. red peppercorns 1 tsp. fennel seeds 1 tsp. black pepper coarsely ground 1 tsp. kosher salt 1 Tbsp. fresh rosemary finely chopped 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme finely chopped 2 cloves garlic minced 1½ Tbsp. brown sugar 1 lb bone-in skin-on chicken thighs. (You can use breasts, legs, and wings, too.)

How to make it

In a small bowl combine first eight ingredients. Using a sharp knife, trim any excess fat from the chicken. Pat chicken dry with a paper towel. Liberally sprinkle rub onto both sides of chicken and press with your fingers so that it adheres to the bird. Place chicken on a platter and transfer to the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours. Take chicken out of the fridge 15 minutes before cooking. Preheat grill to 375 degrees. Place thighs skin side down for 6 minutes. To prevent flare-ups and maximize the flavor of the rub, do not leave grill unattended with skin side down, as the drippings can trigger a flare up that may burn the skin. After six minutes, turn the chicken and continue cooking for approximately 12 minutes.
