    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    do them all the time as well as turkey wings and turkey gizzards. 
    400 DIRECT RAISED has always worked for me. One of these or coffee rub or?

    Salado TX & 30A  FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Just given another Mini to add to the herd.

    Coffee Rub         (turkey, chicken, beef & pork)


    Equal part: Instant Expresso Ground coffee


    Equal part: Brown Sugar


    ½ part: Black Pepper


    ½ part: Kosher Salt


    ½ part: Garlic Powder


    ¾ part: Ancho Chili Powder



    Don't worry on exact, just close on measurement. I used to use turbinado sugar but we like with brown better. This is pulled from  MollyShark, Hungry Man, & Richard In Fl then tweaked. I find the ancho chili powder is far less expensive in the bulk spice area than the bottled area ( have used both light or dark version). I make it starting with a half cup  Instant Expresso Ground coffee  and work from there as it seems to store well if sealed.
