Who is ready for BBQ season!? We sure are! In true PNW fashion, we still grill when it’s raining outside, and even in a windstorm, but it’s a heck of a lot more pleasant to grill in the sunshine. One very windy morning this last winter, we lost power in the middle of cooking breakfast. I was NOT going to let good bacon go to waste! So, I fired up the BBQ and finished cooking breakfast on the grill. I managed to keep the leaves from flying into the skillet and I didn’t blow away. Winning!
Here’s a simple, smoky flavored rub that we love to have on hand. Use on your favorite cut of chicken (we prefer skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs!) the next time you grill.
Keep any extra you have in a glass jar to save for later.
