Cocoa Chili Rub - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 -2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, Saigon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

Preparation

Place all ingredients in a covered jar or ziploc bag and shake to evenly blend.
Rub on pork chops, pork tenderloin, or chicken legs or thighs. I find this a little too rich for beef but if you feel adventurous, go for it!
This recipe makes enough for two small whole pork tenderloins or 6-8 chops.
Rub meat with blended spices and allow at least two hours to marinate before grilling or broiling.
