Spicy Rub Recipes
With summer grilling season finally upon us, there are few things more important than a good rub recipe. And the only thing better than a good rub recipe is a good spicy rub recipe! This got us thinking: we love cayenne as much as the next spice peddler, but it has been the default chili powder for far too long. There is literally a whole world full of chilis out there, and their wide range of flavors can make for some amazing additions to your culinary arsenal. That's why we've set out to gather some awesome chili powder rub recipes from around the web, highlighting a variety of different peppers (yes, even cayenne). Check them out below!
