TINA'S 4-3-2-1 RUB

I got this recipe out of a Bon Appetit magazine It is an excellent jumping off point. If you want you can add a bit of garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder etc. I usually use 1 tablespoon sweet paprika and 1 tablespoon smoked paprika. I find this a great mix of spicy sweet without being too complicated.
