Bigjay's Caribbean Rub is a flavorful spice mixture that adds a Caribbean twist to any meat dish. The combination of brown sugar, thyme, allspice, onion powder, and nutmeg creates a balance of sweet and savory flavors that enhance the natural flavors of the meat. The rub can be used on chicken, pork, beef or seafood. The addition of the rub creates a caramelized crust on the meat which locks in juices and adds a depth of flavor. It's ideal for outdoor BBQs, but can also be cooked indoors in an oven or stove-top grill.

Instructions

1.	Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
2.	Rub the spice mixture generously onto your desired meat (chicken, pork, beef etc.)
3.	Cover the meat and allow it to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
4.	Cook meat as desired, either on the grill or in the oven.

PROS

Bigjay’s Caribbean Rub is versatile and can be used on a variety of meats to add a delicious and unique flavor to your BBQ.

The rub can be made ahead of time and stored for later use.

CONS

The rub contains brown sugar which can cause the meat to burn if cooked at too high of a temperature.

The rub may not be suitable for those who do not like sweet and savory flavors combined.
