Pretty good, but it was way too much pepper for our taste. I will probably make this again, but only use 1 tsp pepper.

Thanks for a great spice rub! I left out the sugar, but that's just my personal prefenence. I also used a little smoked paprika in combination wil sweet Hungarian. Delicious mix of ingredients. Will be making up some more of this to keep on hand.
