Chris’s Best Ever Rub
From Chris Schlesinger, cookbook author, restaurateur, and good friend. This is, hands down, the best run in my repertoire. It's versatile and flavorful, spicy without being hot, and just a touch of sugar provides a deeply colored crust. Delicious on ribs, salmon, chicken, vegetables — just about everything.
