Dry Rub (Poultry)

First, a caution: I haven’t used this rub recipe yet.  A friend sent it to me, and I will use it . . . anyway:

• ground expresso
• cayenne pepper
• paprika
• sugar
• salt
• pepper

Mix equal parts expresso & cayenne, half as much paprika & sugar, salt & pepper to taste.  Rub chicken inside and out.

I like to make enough dry rub mix to save some for the next time, so I’ll probably use 1/4 cup each of ground expresso & cayenne; proportional amounts for the rest.
