First things first. We buy onion, garlic, chili powders and coarse ground black pepper in the 6 to 11 oz shakers. (I have saved at least one with the labels removed to store and use for my rub.)

This rub is rather strong so I lightly sprinkle meat but with good coverage all the way around. give it a try and let me know. thanks Jim.

  Paul's Comments:-

  
  Thanks for the recipe Jim. After looking at the list of ingredients I took your advice and only sprinkled it on sparingly.
  
  I made it up and used it on chicken - really good and very spicy!
  
  I had some chicken thighs and drumsticks that I took the skin off and sprinkled on your rub. I left them for 30 minutes before cooking so that the rub had time to work itself into the flesh of the chicken.
  
  I then popped them on the grill for about 30 minutes, turning at the halfway stage.
  
  That same 30 minutes later I was sitting down with a delicious feast and a glass of chardonnay. Lunches don't get better than this!
