Ingredients

4 chicken drumsticks and 4 thighs (3 pounds total)
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/4 cup All-Purpose Spice Rub

Directions

1. Step 1Place chicken drumsticks and thighs in a shallow baking dish. Carefully slide fingers under skin to loosen it from the meat. Rub chicken all over with oil. Season with All-Purpose Spice Rub both under and over skin, patting in gently. Proceed to step 2 right away, or cover chicken and let rest for up to 24 hours. Cover and refrigerate if resting longer than 30 minutes.
2. Step 2Heat grill to medium-low. Oil grates; grill chicken, covered, turning frequently to prevent charring, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part (avoiding bone) registers 175 degrees F, 20 to 30 minutes.
