Santa Fe Dry Rub Recipes

SANTA MARIA SEASONING

Steps:

• Measure out the following spices: salt, black pepper, paprika, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne.
• Add all the spices into a small bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Rub all over a tri-tip roast, pork ribs, or seafood, and smoke or grill.
• If not using the Santa Maria Seasoning right away, store it in an airtight jar for later use.

SANTA FE SPICE RUB

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine all the spices and brown sugar. Stir in the olive oil and mix until a crumbly, moist paste forms.
• Place the chicken in a single layer in a 9X13-inch or similar size baking pan. Rub the chicken generously with the spice mixture on all sides. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 10 hours.
• Grill the chicken over medium heat until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side, depending on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Cut into strips and serve. This chicken is delicious served as-is and is also wonderful served in soft tortillas with taco garnishes.
