Dry Spice Rub

A dry spice rub is a fast, simple alternative to a marinade that is applied to meat before it is cooked. Rubs are easy to make and work great on chicken, meat and fish. Combine the above ingredients.

¼ cup paprika
¼ cup chili powder
2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp. sea salt
1 tsp. pepper, freshly cracked
2 tsp. light brown sugar

Combine all ingredients into an air tight container and mix well.

Cover the meat with the spice mixture and press down in a rubbing motion to release the flavour.

Makes about 2/3 cup.
