Memphis Dry Rub

When you think of chicken from Tennessee, you think of Nashville Hot Chicken. Outside of Tennessee, Memphis is known for its smoked or grilled pork ribs. But, in reality, there are also amazing chicken dishes to be had all over Memphis, where the meat is typically rubbed before it is cooked—whether in the smoker or the oven, or on the grill or stovetop—with this classic sweet-and-hot Memphis seasoning.
