This rub is a perfect “sweet heat.” We chose granulated honey for the “sweet” because it’s easy to use and has a slightly more complex flavor than sugar, and chipotle for the “heat” because it’s hot enough to announce its presence but isn’t overly aggressive while bringing the tremendous smoky flavor. Use as a dry rub and apply to any meat evenly on all sides before cooking; one tablespoon of rub per pound of meat is all you need. Let the seasoned meat sit for two hours before grilling to ensure maximum flavor. The granulated honey in this blend helps form a crust around proteins like chicken or fish, sealing in moisture and making for a juicier dish.
Recommended for: chicken, fish, pork, potatoes, root vegetables, and stir-fries
