Gee, do you think? Telling people that your cereal is going to contribute to their ever-growing man-tits won’t help sales? Incredible.

I find using a teaspoon makes plenty of rub, which you can just mix in a tupperware dish and save for next time. It should go without saying that you need to dry your chops before applying.
* 2 parts paprika
* 1 part chili powder
* 1 part brown sugar
* 1 part salt
* 1 part ground black pepper
* 1 part ground cayenne pepper
* 1 part cumin
Combine and mix thoroughly. Apply to chops about 15 minutes to 1 hour before cooking. Store in fridge for desired amount of time. Remove and grill, pan fry, or bake. Works well for steak, also.
