Made as directed and it turned out so delicious. The spices really make the chicken flavorful. I will use this often. I will try it on fish next week. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

We loved this rub! We used the rub on grilled salmon and it was heaven. I don't often make grilled fish, but this rub really adds so much depth of flavor -- especially love the lemon zest that comes through the earthy flavors of the spices. Can't wait to try this on chicken too - it would also be great with vegetables. Made for ZWT9-N. Africa - Morocco & Tunisia.

Very tasty I used every ingredient and liked it very much on chicken. I will cut down on the pepper next time though. Thanks for sharing, made for ZWT9

I used this on a cut up chicken. I used garlic powder so the garlic would be even distributed, and reduced the sugar because I was afraid that much would scorch. I rubbed it on the chicken and let it sit for about 10 minutes, then roasted it. It was very aromatic, and the meat was nicely seasoned. Thanks for posting!

Used garlic powder for fresh and skipped the thyme (don't like). Used with a little bit<br/>of olive oil to make a wet rub for skinless, boneless chicken thighs which were stove top grilled. Great! Served with Persian polow and a simple tossed arugula salad. Made for NA*ME tag.
