Notes
- Whisk the blend thoroughly before storing to make sure the brown sugar is fully distributed with no clumps.
- Store in glass rather than plastic - the brown sugar stays less clumpy in glass and the flavor stays fresher longer.
- Break up any clumps with a fork before using - it is still perfectly good.
- Apply the seasoning at least 30 minutes before cooking so the spices have time to penetrate the meat.
- The brown sugar caramelizes beautifully on high heat so do not be afraid to use a generous amount on chicken and ribs.
- Make a double batch at the start of grilling season so you are never caught without it on a summer weekend.
