Recipe: Salt and Sugar Rub (not Adirondack Style)

Salt and Sugar Rub - Not Adirondack Style

Another way to make tasty, tender chicken is to add it to a salt-and-sugar rub.

For chicken breasts, blend:
1/3 cup cosrse salt
1/3 cup of brown sugar
with a mixture of your favorite seasonings.

Good seasonings to spice up this mix are:
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder

In a large resealable plastic bag, rub the entire mixture evenly over the chicken, seal up bag, and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours. You may find it easier to use several bags in this instance.

When ready to cook, rinse the chicken breasts thoroughly to remove the salt-and-sugar rub and dry the breasts with paper towels. The chicken is then ready for cooking.

PS I live in the foothills of the Adirondacks and have never heard of this rub. :) Where did you have it?
