The beauty of this rub is its versatility. Add a pinch of cayenne or chili powder for more heat. Add extra sugar to make it sweeter. Pro tip: I love doing this on beer can chicken in the summer—put some rub in the beer can with onions and garlic for a super flavor kick. No matter how you use it, I hope you and your family enjoy it!
