chicken rub for kids

[Scott Hoofman]

I'm going to be having some kids over this weekend and part of the cook will be a couple of beercan chickens. My son informed that he didn't want beercan chicken and ask if I could possibly do cherry coke or mountain dew chicken. I agreed to the cherry coke idea. But, I was wondering if anyone had an idea of what kind of rub, if any, that would go good with cherry coke chicken and still please some finicky preteens?

Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

got any cherry Texas Pepper Jelly? maybe skip the rub or use a plain rub of paprika, S&P, then sauce the bird with a TXPJ/BBQ sauce mix ... ?

Sams sells a Durkee brand chicken seasoning that my kids like. Taste good but better with a few pellets or wood chips smoking right along with it. I use it often.
