<\/span>Chris’s Best Ever Rub<\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
From Chris Schlesinger, cookbook author, restaurateur, and good friend. This is, hands down, the best run in my repertoire. It's versatile and flavorful, spicy without being hot, and just a touch of sugar provides a deeply colored crust. Delicious on ribs, salmon, chicken, vegetables — just about everything.<\/span><\/div>\n

      <\/span>Notes<\/span><\/h3>

      <\/span>Best Ever Rub with Five-Spice<\/span><\/h2>\nIncredibly fragrant: Substitute 2 tsp five-spice powder for the chili powder<\/span>
      <\/div>\n

      <\/span>Best Ever Rub with Chipotle<\/span><\/h2>\nAmp up the heat level: Substitute 1 tsp chipotle chili powder (or to taste) for the chili powder.<\/span>
      <\/div>\n

      <\/span>Best Ever Rub with Piment\u00f3n<\/span><\/h2>\nBoth this rub and Best Ever Rub with Chipotle are great ways for the gas griller to add smoke flavor without having to add wood to the grill: Substitute smoked paprika (piment\u00f3n) for the regular paprika.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":657,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[134,668,799],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-american","category-grilled","category-rub"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ChrissBestEverRub.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=663"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":664,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663\/revisions\/664"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/657"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
