Get Your Grill On

With Superbowl parties around the corner, here is a rub that will help all that beer go down even quicker… Buffalo wings have nothing on a great Jamaican Jerk wing! This rub will get you there. You can make them HOT – or just spicy. Either way, nothing goes better with beer and football. This is great on whole chickens also…

Rub #8 – Jamaican Jerk Rub

• 6 TBS Onion Powder
• 6 TBS Onion Flakes
• 2 TBS Ground Allspice
• 2 TBS Freshly Ground black pepper
• 2 TBS Cayenne pepper
• 2 TBS Turbinado Sugar
• 4½ tsp Thyme
• 4½ tsp Cinnamon (ground)
• 2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1½ tsp Nutmeg (freshly ground)
• ¼ tsp Ground Habanero chile

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients and stir to mix.  Pay special attention to not touch the Habanero with your bare hands.  For less heat, replace the Ground Habanero with ½ tsp chipotle powder.

Application: Sprinkle rub liberally on the pieces of chicken, allow to marinate 4 hours under refrigeration.
