• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Prepare for indirect grilling.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme leaves, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper to create a spice rub.
3. Rub the chicken all over with olive oil. Sprinkle the spice rub evenly over the entire chicken, making sure to coat it thoroughly.
