As the warm weather approaches our barbecues begin to come out from hiding and fill the neighbourhood
with delectable aromas of smoked food. I have been trying to get into the habit of writing ingredients down that I use while I cook (as I am the little bit of this, a dash of that type of cook). That being said for rubs, and marinades you can do just that! Approximate measurements are fine. Here are my go-to recipes for most meats for the grill.
Dry Rub for Poultry

2 tblsp chili powder
2 tblsp paprika
1 tblsp cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tbslp granulated garlic
1 tblsp granulated onion
