Note

Store any leftover rub in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.

This rub works exceptionally well on chicken thighs, pork ribs, or firm fish like swordfish.

For a milder heat, reduce the amount of chili powder or omit it entirely.

If using a wet marinade, mix this dry rub with olive oil or lime juice before applying.
