I ate dinner at my brother's house tonight. He smoked chicken while we sipped on 101's & soda. He smoked over apple wood and used a rub made by McCormicks called Sweet & Spicy. This wasn't your typical sweet & spicy to me. The spice was there but it really hit on the sweetness with a good tasting accent of cinnamon. It was very tasty and delicious, but I felt like it was meant for more. Like a rub on a spicy marinated or injected pork ribs maybe or a roast. Or how about after a brine? Are there recipes for a brine that adds heat to the meat? I think that would be best. Then add this rub. Sounds heavenly to me.
