It was very easy. However, I found it to be too sweet. I added the habanero but added smoked cayenne pepper to give it more heat. I used the air fyrer. I formed a nice crust on top.

This was very easy, and SUPER tasty!!! Put it on pork tenderloin and grilled, and it was delicious! Can't wait to try again really soon.

Very good and easy! I usually use jalapeno in my jerk, but tried the habanero and it has some kick! Going to use on a chicken. UPDATE: Used this rub on a whole chicken, cooked on the rotisserie and it turned out great!
