Shaboom's Kitchen -- Beef Recipe Archives - Caribbean Habanero Dry Rub

CARIBBEAN HABANERO DRY RUB Since habanero chiles are native to the Yucatan and around the Caribbean, it's only natural to have the dried form in a lovely hot and spicy rub for ribs or chicken. I found it on Recipe Sources, tinkered with it a little and wound up with a rub very similar to a Jerk Rub. I keep this on hand all the time and use it often. If you feel inventive, try to use to it make your own jerk marinade!
Heat Scale: Hot (you can even make it "incendiary if you want!)
