Turmeric

Turmeric is an excellent spice for chicken recipes.  Like curry Turmeric is often found in Indian cuisine.  If you gently warm up the spice to encourage the flavors to release you will have better success using this spice.  A blend of Turmeric and Currys combine for a unique Barbeque Dry Rub Recipe.

Brown Sugar

Brown Sugar adds gives your Barbeque Dry Rub Recipes that caramelized sweet flavor.  Everyone loves a nice sweet finish to a great grilling beef tenderloin or beef cube steak.  Adding sweet brown sugar to change the flavor of even the simplest barbeque sauce is a great idea. 

Curry Powder

Curry Powder is an excellent spice that was initially created by the British in an effort to take the flavor of India back to the UK.  Curry Powder in America has a very consistent taste.  Curry Powder is one of my secret ingredients that adds a flavor to dry rub recipes that many Americans have not been introduced to.  I prefer to gently roast the Curry Powder to bring out the flavor prior to adding to my barbeque dry rub recipes.
