Dry Jerk Rub

Pink_Diamond's Note:

This is a great Jamaican Rub recipe that is nice with poultry and pork. You can adjust the spicyness by increasing or decreasing the amount or type of crushed peppers. For a "not so hot" rub, use crushed red peppers. For a "really hot" rub, use dried scotch bonnet peppers.

This is a great rub for chicken! Great combination of flavors and just spicy enough. I"ll cut back a bit on the salt next time. Used this on boneless skinless chicken breasts - terrific - thanks for sharing the recipe!
