Cooked chicken breasts on the BBQ, Very good, very easy, and healthier than BBQ sauce. I used less salt like most food network recipes, and substituted olive for canola oil. This is close to as good as Bobby's 16 spice rub but way easier. Definitely give this a try.

This is a fantastic rub. I have only tried it on salmon, but we have not had salmon at home without this rub since I discovered it. It creates a really nice crust and gives a ton of flavor to the salmon without having to add anything unhealthy. I use olive oil and I feel it enhances the taste. I make plenty of rub and store it in my spice rack, because people, including my mom and my mother-in-law, end up taking home my supply after tasting the dish! One word of caution to those cooking indoor without a strong fan: if you use too thick a layer of the rub, there will be a lot of smoke. You can solve the problem by either using less (which is what I do and I still get a nice crust or putting a lid on the grilling pan, but that tends to make the crust a bit soggy.

Very simple, quick and full of flavor. I made it in a grill-pan and it came out perfect.

I tried the rub for salmon, either the allspice or 4 minutes made it too dark. Turned the heat down, the crust started sticking and tearing apart. However it was very moist and had a very mild taste.

I love salmon so I am always looking for new marinades and rubs for this wonderful fish and I found this one very good. I am not a big fan of cinnamon so next time I will use less then it calls for. I also used olive oil instead of canola and it was just fine.
