Memphis Rub by Steven Raichlen

dragonpawz's Note:

We found this recipe in his amazing cookbook and off his cooking show. This is made for Beer can chicken, but can also be used on ribs. I hate salt,so I never use it in this recipe, but if you are salt lovers, go for it!!

I used a rounded tbsp of cayenne and found it was enough for us. The recipe covered two nice chickens beautifully. My son especially liked the rub and had me print out the recipe before he left. Made for PAC, Fall '09.
