Punk IPA BBQ Rub

That lemon peel really cuts through the smoky chipotle and the muscovado sugar gives it a subtle sweetness that clings to the ribs beautifully. We used it on chicken thighs last weekend and the whole garden smelled incredible. Already ordered a second jar.

The chipotle heat sneaks up on you right after the lemon peel brightness, which makes it perfect for chicken thighs. I dusted it on ribs this past weekend and the sugary crust caramelized beautifully without burning.

I was skeptical about chipotle in a rub being too smoky, but it's actually the most balanced mix I've tried. The muscovado sugar caramelized perfectly on my ribs, giving them that sticky, slightly sweet crust. Definitely making this my go-to for every barbecue this summer.
