77 Spice Rub

[slickyboyboo]

Was watching DIners, Drive-ins, & Dives on TV the other evening, and they were showing a place called "The Smoke Joint". I put together their 77 Spice Rub recipe as best I could, and scaled it down. It's some kind of fine!

This rub is great for poultry, especially good for dusting before smoking wings and drumettes for hot wings.


½ cup Spanish Paprika
4 Tbs White Sugar
4 Tbs Kosher Salt
4 Tbs Granulated Garlic
4 Tbs Cumin
4 Tbs Coarse Ground Black Pepper
4 Tbs Onion Powder
4 Tbs Chili Powder
2 Tbs Cayenne
2 Tbs Ground Mustard

Seem like a bunch of Paprika.

Seem like a bunch of Paprika.

That it does, but it is really good.

I quartered the original recipe, which called for 2 cups of Paprika.

Ok, thanks for the reply and the recipe. Will try it this week on some yard bird and give you my take on it.

Cool, keep me posted!

Recipes high in paprika usually come out with (what I consider) a traditional BBQ type flavor profile...looks to be relatively low in sugar and salt. Paprika is just ground chile peppers. Looks to be a good recipe.
