Your Questions Answered by Chicken Seasoning Experts

Success with BBQ chicken comes down to mastering the fundamentals. Find answers to common questions so you can level up your grilling and earn rave reviews during your next backyard cookout or family holiday.

  • Do I need more than one seasoning rub for chicken?

    That’s up to you, but we always layer our rubs, even on chicken. The Best Beer Can Chicken Rub and Southern Chicken Clean Eating Rub make great base layers for another rub like Dirty Bird HOT

  • How long should I cook chicken?

    Like other kinds of meat, you’re not looking for a certain time; you’re going for the final internal temperature. According to current food safety guidelines, for all cuts of chicken, that temperature is at least 165°F or 74°C. We like to go a little higher, but you do you, just make sure it's 165°F at least.

  • Should I wash my chicken before I start the prep?

    According to USDA Food Safety guidelines, no. Their research shows it actually increases the risk of cross-contamination.

  • Is a ceramic chicken stand really necessary? Can’t I just sit the bird on my beer?

    You do you, but it makes the process a lot easier, and there’s no risk of coming away with a bird that tastes like a can.

  • How do I use Wing Dust? Is it like a rub?

    Wing Dust is a class of its own! For maximum flavor, we recommend cooking your wings first with a rub (like SPG or Dirty Bird) then tossing them in the Wing Dust. Because of it’s fine consistency, that’s the best way to get the most flavor in every bite.

  • Is Wing Dust only for wings, or can I use it on other things?

    Any flavor of Wing Dust is fan-freaking-tastic on a variety of things. Try it on popcorn, chips, or even pizza. You really can’t go wrong with a sprinkle of Wing Dust on just about anything.

  • How do I get crispy skin on my chicken?

    After you inject or soak your chicken, before you apply any rub, make sure you pat it dry with paper towels. And don’t be shy with the rub, or rubs, you use!

  • How do I enhance the flavor of chicken?

    You can enhance the flavor of chicken, which by itself is really mild, by layering spices, herbs, seasonings, and sauces during prep and while your bird is on the grill. The experts at Kosmo’s Q recommend starting with a marinade for prep. Then, rub the whole chicken down with a rub. To really level up the flavor, you can finish by brushing a glaze all over the chicken when it’s almost ready to come off the grill.

  • What’s the secret to the best BBQ chicken?

    The secret to the best BBQ chicken is – hands down – the preparation and seasoning. By planning ahead and using flavorful marinades and injections as your base, you can set your bird up for success before it even hits the grill. Then, there are all the sauces to consider. Experts recommend getting creative and pairing different things together instead of sticking to just one. Mixing dressings like this ensures that your BBQ chicken is unique and bursting with flavor.

  • What is chicken’s flavor profile?

    By itself, chicken has a mild, savory flavor profile that is sometimes described as “slightly sweet.” This basic profile makes chicken the perfect palate for exciting flavor pairings. The meat acts like a sponge to pick up whatever you marinate, rub, or dust your bird with.
