Super Garlic Seasoning

I'm not as picky with store bought spice mixes as I am with store bought BBQ sauce.  I have, however, become partial to the Traeger Prime Rib rub for beef.  I really like a lot of garlic, with a little bit of sweetness especially for pork and chicken.

 I searched online for a recipe - and found a rub that looked good on paper.  It didn't pan out exactly how I wanted, for taste.  I did a little adjusting - trying it with fresh garlic, minced and dried garlic, and refrigerated minced garlic.  I found that if you are going to rub the meat and wrap it overnight, the dried minced works best, and if you are going to cook right away fresh or refrigerated is a little better.  I especially love this rub for chicken, boneless skinless breasts and thighs.  Happy grilling!!
