BBQ Rub
Posted on December 19, 2011.
This rub will really enhance any grilled meats or chicken. You can make this rub in advance and store at room temperature. I prefer to apply the rub the day before cooking, wrap the meat tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate. This allows the rub to fully permeate the meat.


Blackened Rub
