Chili Powder Rub Food

CHILI POWDER CHICKEN THIGH RUB & RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees
• Sprinkle each chicken thigh with a tablespoon of chili powder mixture, covering both sides.
• Place chicken thighs skin side down in a roasting pan. Cover tightly with foil and place in preheated oven. Bake for 60 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven and remove foil. Turn chicken thighs skin side up.
• Return to oven for 15 minutes and bake uncovered.
• Turn broiler on high and broil chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes, or until crispy and golden.
• Let rest for a few minutes before serving. I recommend a lemony arugula salad as the perfect side to these tasty chicken thighs.

AB'S CHILI POWDER

Steps:

• Place all of the chiles and the cumin into a medium nonstick saute pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, moving the pan around constantly, until you begin to smell the cumin toasting, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside and cool completely.
• Once cool, place the chiles and cumin into the carafe of a blender along with the garlic powder, oregano, and paprika. Process until a fine powder is formed. Allow the powder to settle for at least a minute before removing the lid of the carafe. Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

CHIPOTLE CHILE RUB

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Transfer mixture to a sealed container. This rub can be stored in the freezer for several months.

COCOA CHILI RUB

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a covered jar or ziploc bag and shake to evenly blend.
• Rub on pork chops, pork tenderloin, or chicken legs or thighs. I find this a little too rich for beef but if you feel adventurous, go for it!
• This recipe makes enough for two small whole pork tenderloins or 6-8 chops.
• Rub meat with blended spices and allow at least two hours to marinate before grilling or broiling.

CHILI POWDER THAT'S SMOKY AND SPICY!

Steps:

• Use a damp paper towel to wipe the surface of each dried chili clean. Place on a baking sheet and toast in a 200 degree oven until the chilies are completely crisp and fragrant.
• Toast the cumin seed until fragrant, but be careful not to burn them.
• Remove the seeds from the chilies, then add them along with everything else to a blender, spice mill, coffee grinder, the dry blade of your vita mix, small food processor or spice grinder. Blitz until the spice mixture is a fine powder. You may have to do in batches. Protect your eyes and lungs by avoiding the dust.
• Use this chili powder recipe immediately for best flavor, or store in a small, air tight sealed glass container.
