I’ve been doing the healthy chicken thing for years now, so I’ve experimented quite a bit.

My basic chicken rub has:
• Garlic powder
• Paprika
• Basil
• Chipotle powder
• Black Pepper
• Crushed Red Pepper
• Seasoned Salt

If you are near a Penzey’s Spices place, get some Northwoods or Northwoods Fire; great on chicken. In a pinch I also like Montreal Spicy Steak rub.

The thing I don’t like about chicken is that the flavors don’t really penetrate, even with a marinade. So I have gotten into the habit of cutting the chicken into pieces before putting on a rub and cooking.

If you want to make it into a marinade, just mix the spices with olive oil.
