Recipe - Rub Your Bird!

Rubbing is key to BBQ. It gives us the opportunity to take a relatively flavourless piece of meat and apply a combination of salty-sweet-hot-bitter-whatever flavour. The truth is, it's tough to go wrong with almost any combination of spices to make a rub. In my opinion as long as you have a huge POP of flavour, you will do fine! Here is my recipe for a simple rub that will cover about 2 whole chickens.

• 2 Tbsp Kosher Salt
• 1 Tbsp Paprika
• 1 Tbsp Dry Mustard
• 1 Tbsp Onion Powder
• 1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
• 1 Tsp Ground Cumin
• 1 Tsp Fresh Ground Pepper
• 1/2 Tsp Ground Ginger
• 1/4 Tsp Allspice

Combine all ingredients with a wisk and rub liberally UNDER the skin, inside the cavity and on top of the skin of the bird.

Enjoy,
Seb
