Instructions: Mix the spices in a bowl. (Wear rubber gloves when handling this chile-based rub, or be sure to wash your hands well before touching your eyes or other sensitive body parts.) Store the rub covered in a cool, dark pantry or freezer.

This recipe yields 3/4 cup.

Comments: Dry rubs get sticky on the grill. When youre using one, be sure to oil the cooking grate well to prevent fusion between the food and the metal. As further insurance, dont move the food during the first minute of grilling, giving the spices time to singe into the surface.

Yield: 3/4 cup
