Nice. I use a similar rub (but with more ingredients than this) to make my Ninja “rotisserie” chicken. Take out giblets from whole chicken, remove fat globs, tie up chicken (or not). Season inside and out with 1/4 cup rub. Brown all sides on stovetop high for 15 minutes. Remove chicken and reduce temp to 350°. Add four cups liquid (water, part beer or wine or fruit juice if desired), place chicken on rack and return to oven. Cover and roast for an hour and fifteen minutes. Remove from oven and let rest, covered for a few minutes. Any leftovers can be boned and shredded or chunked, and used in salads or tacos or whatever.
