    Caribbean Chicken Rub

    I simply mix this up in a ziplock bag, add 100g of chicken, and then shake shake shake. Let it sit for 20 mins in refrigerator before grilling/baking/broiling.

    1 T parsley
    1 t cumin
    1 t chili powder
    1/2 t black pepper
    1/2 t allspice
    1/4 t cinnamon

    This amount makes enough for 2 servings of chicken (possibly even more depending on how much seasoning you like) so you can shake shake shake both of them up in the ziplock, cook both, and then refrigerate the extra chicken.

    BBQ Rub

    I shook about 1 T or so of this on my eye of round steak for lunch, rub rub rubbed it down, stuck in refrigerator for 20 mins and then tossed it on the George Foreman. Yum yum yum. This also tastes great on chicken.

    2 T paprika
    1 T granulated sugar substitute
    1 T ground cumin
    1 T black pepper
    1 T chili powder

    Mix & store in air-tight container/ziplock bag. This amount makes enough for several uses.

    This is slightly spicy so be sure you're drinking your water. :)
