Steps:

• For the chicken: Pat the chicken dry. With your hands, coat the chicken entirely with Sunny's 1-2-3 Spice Rub. Place in a plastic bag, press out the air, seal and refrigerate for at least 6 and up to 24 hours.

Allow the chicken to rest, tented with aluminum foil, until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F.
