This is one of my basic rubs. If you only want to make some for one or two uses, then go with the amounts here. I triple the amounts and keep it in a glass jar. And it is wonderful on steak.Hope you enjoy it.

How To Make chipotle chocolate cinnamon rub

  • Step 1
    Put all the above in a food processor or blender and mix till all is almost a fine powder.
  • Step 2
    This is a great rub for chicken or ribs. Simply rub it on and then let it marinade in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
  • Step 3
    And if you want to turn this into a BBQ sauce all you need to do is add the following to 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the master mix to: 1 cup apple juice 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoon water Cook till it is as thick as you want it.
  • Step 4
    A double whammy to this recipe is this I use the rub as just that on the meat, and then take some of the rub and make a sauce out of it and baste the same while it is on the grille. If you make this into a sauce you'll need to keep it refrigerated.
