Here is my rendition of what is frequently referred to as “the San Francisco treat,” even though it will be the first time I see it served in this country. I added a variety of flavors and actual chicken broth.

This is a great basic rub for when you got a Grandma Honey who is 90 years old and can’t take heat much. I substituted cajun seasoning in place of the red pepper flakes. I would have liked the red pepper flakes but I can’t take a chance on Grandma.
Love it. Been using it a while now and my family and friends think it’s the best!!
What’s stopping me from giving this rub 5 stars is that, for my taste, there’s way too much black pepper. Instead of 1.5 tablespoons, I’m using 1.5 teaspoons. Other than that this rub can be put on an old rubber tire and it would taste good.
I used it as a dry rub on chicken wings. It was an instant hit with my family and friends! Thumbs way up!
This dry rub is amazing! Great blend of spices and excellent flavor. I only used 1.5tbs of the paprika (bc that’s all I had) and added the optional crushed red pepper flakes. I put my chicken wings in the air fryer for 24 minutes (flipping after 12). They were perfect!!
Perfect for ribs! I added a little extra red pepper flakes and a little less ground pepper. I put this on my ribs for a few hours before cooking and it was perfect! I also left out the salt until I was ready to cook them as I didnt want to dry my meat.
Love this recipe. I use it often. I just use the smoke paprika instead.
I used this rub on a turkey breast before grilling. It works!
Instead of salt I used adobo
Very good. No changes!
Super easy! Super delicious! I didn’t change a thing!
Tried it on ribs and it was excellent. Very tasty. I didn’t change a thing. Will use this rub again.
Loved it. Just enough heat; everyone enjoyed these ribs! Topped them off with a little BBQ sauce on the grill, they were good.
Good recipe
Enjoyed this rub – but didn’t think it was spicy at all. just a hint. will definitely make again but will change the balance of brown sugar to spices. definitely a keeper. Used this on chicken breasts that I grilled.
this rub is good for literally any meat!!!
Friends liked it but felt it was a little spicy
Loved it. Marinated the chick overnight in a bag with one large lime & water. Was very tender.
Made it exact and smoked wings on my pellet grille. 3 hours and turned out fantastic. Sweet and spicy and a little kick every now and then from the red pepper flakes.
I made it just as the recipe says. Was great on pork chops. I also used it on roasted sweet potatoes and it was delicious!
Terrific! Added a pinch of turmeric and coriander seed. Excellent basic rub recipe. Thanks for sharing!!
