Cocoa Chili Rub

Wake up pork with this adventurous blend of cocoa and chili! Just the right amount of heat, the right amount of sweet, and a rich infusion of chocolate. Go on, you know you want to see what the fuss is all about.

Steps

Place all ingredients in a covered jar or ziploc bag and shake to evenly blend.

Rub on pork chops , pork tenderloin , or chicken legs or thighs.

I find this a little too rich for beef but if you feel adventurous , go for it !.

This recipe makes enough for two small whole pork tenderloins or 6-8 chops.

Rub meat with blended spices and allow at least two hours to marinate before grilling or broiling.

Ingredients

brown sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cinnamon, salt, cayenne pepper
