Spice rub for chicken
This is an approximation of the spice rub used for the "chicken and waffles" dish at the eG Heartland Gathering 2008.

At the gathering I used a pre-made batch of Barbara Tropp's China Moon Ten-Spice that NancyH brought, plus a lot of additional Szechuan pepper, clove, and coriander. I've adjusted the recipe to account for the most important flavors from the ten-spice.

• 4 T Szechuan peppercorns
• 4 T coriander seeds
• 1 tsp whole cloves
• 2 T black peppercorns
• 1 tsp fennel seeds
• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1 T salt

Toast the first six ingredients in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant. Dump into a dish to cool, then place in a blender or spice mill and process to a fine powder.

Add the remaining ingredients and mix.
