How to Make Hot And Spicy Rub

  1. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste!), 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  2. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, crush the toasted spices into a fine powder.
  4. Rub generously onto your favorite protein (chicken breasts, steak, pork chops, etc.) before grilling. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  5. Grill according to your preferred method and doneness. Enjoy the explosion of flavor!
