Caribbean Barbecue Dry Rubs

This is the Caribbean element of my barbecue dry rubs repertoire, it's quick and easy to prepare and brings the Caribbean to life in your backyard barbecue.

All that’s needed to complete the experience is a white rum cocktail!

It’s all too tempting much of the time to put lots of spice into barbecue rub recipes and blow everyone’s head off. This one is much more gentle and if you prefer fruit to heat, then it’s definitely the one for you and it works great on chicken.

The citrus elements together with the sugar bring you that sweet and sour flavor that we all love and then there's more spice to overlay. The spices will also blacken and add a lovely deep color to the finished results.

Yield:- Just over ½ cup or 150g

Preparation Time:- 10 minutes
Marinade Time:- 1 hour
Cooking Time:- n/a

Total Time:- 1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients:-

• 3 Tablespoons muscovado sugar
• 1 Tablespoon sea salt
• 1 Tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 Tablespoon garlic salt
• 1 Tablespoon onion salt
• 1 Tablespoon ground allspice
• 1 Tablespoon ground coriander
• 1 Teaspoon ground ginger
• Zest of one lemon
• Zest of one lime
• Zest of one orange

Method:-

Just throw it all together and give it a good mix. If you are going to use this one on chicken, make sure that you remove the skin from the chicken first so that you can really let the rub penetrate the flesh.

Once you've applied the rub, let everything rest for an hour and then you're ready for the grill, medium hot coals are perfect for this one.

Any remaining rub will store well in an airtight container in a cool dry place so you can afford to make up more and save for a later cookout if you like. Now where’s that bottle of rum………….?
