Blazing Testimony

The hot one. Where the Sunday Best Rub goes sweet and smoky, this one goes after you — layered cayenne, chipotle, and crushed red pepper, with just enough sugar for bark and not enough to scorch on a hard sear.

🥄 Makes about 1 cup 🔥 Sear-friendly (low sugar) 🚫 MSG-free
A jar of SpicySalvation Blazing Testimony Rub

Instructions

  1. Mix

    Combine everything thoroughly until evenly distributed. Leave the crushed red pepper coarse — it's there for texture and pops of heat, not even distribution.

  2. Store

    Keep in an airtight container out of direct light. Give it a shake before each use.

How it differs from Sunday Best

  • Layered heat — cayenne hits sharp up front, chipotle sits smoky in the middle, red pepper flakes give you pops rather than a flat wall
  • Way less sugar — 1 Tbsp instead of ¼ cup, so it won't burn when you sear hard over coals
  • Same backbone — smoked paprika, garlic, onion, mustard, white pepper, and cumin carry over from the Sunday Best Rub, so it still tastes like family
