Sunset & Sewanee Basic Chicken/Pork BBQ Rub

This is a basic BBQ chicken rub. There is a bit of sugar in the recipe so this rub should only be used with an indirect heat cooking method. Cooking over high heat for prolonged periods may cause this rub to burn, though this recipe can be used in quick boneless grilling over high heat, such as a boneless/skinless chicken breast.
