Tears of joy. That's what happened when my husband first tried this recipe! I wrangled it from a dear friend of mine after we both flipped out over this flavorful rub. It is AMAZING. Now, I keep a batch of the rub in a tin for whipping up a quick grilled chicken.

This rub is good on chicken, pork or seafood. And the mustard yogurt is especially good with beef or chicken. I sure hope you enjoy it as much as my family does. Test Kitchen Avatar The Test Kitchen
