first of all, i feel kind of retarded asking for a chicken rub recipe on this site... but... ive never done any real bbq-ing...
 


 i just got done assembling my new bbq, its a brinkmann duel fuel, but i have the offset firebox for doing slow cooking/smoking but ive never used a bbq like this before...

i have a big pack of drumsticks in the fridge, and i would like to find a good rub that would work with slow cooking/smoking..

i figure this would be a good way to get started... pretty hard to screw up chicken...

if you guys had an offset firebox bbq/smoker, and a pack of chicken drumsticks... what would you do?

catch it. kill it. cook it. eat it.
Forget the bear spray, use wasp killer. Concentrated delivery stream, 10X the product, and only $3.00 on sale.

I smoke two fish in the morning, I smoke two fish at night, I smoke two fish in de afternoon makes me feel alright

I rarely desire anything more than E.V.O. and Johnny's on my grilled chicken.  However, when the wife starts complaining about how boring I am (quite often) I use this stuff on chicken thighs and legs.  http://www.grilling4all.com/sm8056.html 

On pork ribs that stuff is like crack - one taste and you'll need a regular fix for the rest of your life.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

This is a pretty good all around rub recipe.

Rub:
1/2 cup raw sugar (Turbinado)
1/4 cup salt (I use plain)
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbs garlic powder
2 tbs granulated onion
2 tbs paprika
2 tbs chili powder
2 tbs black pepper
1 tbs cayenne pepper
1 tbs cumin
1 tsp nutmeg
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

I think you are over thinking this. To season the grill you need two things....meat and smoke....

Take your chicken, dump it in a brine safe pot....addd water, kosher salt, brown sugar, and some garlic. Soak those tasty bits of flightless bird for a couple hours to overnight.......throw them in the grill with med direct and inderect heat......add smoke....let it go nice slow....then enjoy.

You will have a nicely seasoned grill that is ready for some serious cooking.

Hey jeep I think you want your bbq to run solo for the first few hours to season and get rid of the chem smell  :twocents:. After that brinening is always good for chicks enjoy
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.

I cannot stress the importance of arranging the Chicken Parts on the Grill so as to appeal to the awaiting Guests ! :tup:

This rub is phenomal on both chicken and pork.
It is foolish and wrong to mourn these men.  Rather, we should thank god that such men lived.  -General George S. Patton

Go basic
Salt pepper garlic and smoked paprika.  When they are close to done baste with siracha/honey or siracha/sweet chili sauce.  Score below the ankle and slide down all the meat to the knee and cooked knee on the grill

I like the waterfowl blend from meat eater. Or the citrus/black pepper from treager. Both have worked out fantastic for us

if you guys had an offset firebox bbq/smoker, and a pack of chicken drumsticks... what would you do?

For a pack of drumsticks I would go simple, rub it down with some garlic salt and call it good.  No reason to get 15 spices out for drumsticks.
