Bbq (Barbecue) Wet Rub - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup raw sugar (raw, not brown sugar)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup sour mash whiskey
hickory wood chunks, soaked in water

Preparation

Mix 1/2 cup raw sugar* with 1 tsp each; onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, paprika, freshly cracked black pepper, sea salt, and ground coriander seed.
Stir in 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil and 1/4 cup sour mash whiskey (I use \"Jack Daniel's\").
Rub mixture into meat, cover and marinate overnight.
Grill meat over low/medium coals until done to taste.
Note: a great rub for any thick cut of beef, pork or chicken! I grill/smoke on the upper rack (unlit side) of my dual burner gas grill, only lighting the burner on the far side which has a small pan filled with hickory chunks nestled in the midst of the briquettes.
*raw sugar differs from brown sugar despite the cosmetic similarities; raw sugar (unrefined) does not burn and/or caramelize as traditional brown sugar. Even the grocers in our small town carry this product.
