Rubbed wings, one thigh and drum with my go to chicken rub.
Equal parts Kirkland No Salt Organic Spice Mix and Turbinado Sugar

Seasoned breast and other thighs and drums with a sugar free poultry spice mix I originally formulated for deep fried turkey. It also works great on any roasted, baked, or smoked bird.
