Nice and spicy! My husband cooked these in the electric skillet instead of on the grill.

I used chicken filets and I actually broiled mine in the oven also. It was good, but actually a little bland. I will make it again and add some salt.

I liked this spice mixture...some heat with a tiny bit of sweet. I sprinkled it on boneless chicken breasts and "grilled" them under the broiler. My husband and I liked the kick, but my boys thought it was a bit too spicy so use sparingly for wee ones. I'd like to try this same rub mixture on other meats.

Great spice. The sweet with the spice was good. I left out the allspice because I didn't have any. Great recipe because everything is easily at hand.
