Kate's Secret Dry Rub | Commercial Dehydrators

This is a tasty combination for chicken or seafood. It makes enough to rub into 1 pound of protein. Apply the rub and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. For a quick entree, melt 1/4 cup butter in a skillet over medium heat, then sear the seasoned chicken or seafood until golden brown on both sides. Add 2 cups orange juice and 2 tablespoons honey and let simmer until it thickens into a nice sauce.

This works best with chicken and shrimp. My favorite way to use it is to brush or toss the chicken or shrimp with a mixture of 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 2 tablespoons water, then to apply 1 tablespoon of the rub per chicken breast or toss 1/4 cup of the rub per pound of shrimp. Let sit in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours before cooking.

This works particularly well on chicken and steak. When we use it, we first marinate the meat for an hour in a mix of 1/2 cup red or white wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce, then coat it with the rub and let sit in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours before cooking. Use about 1 tablespoon of rub per pound of meat.
