  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Tips & Variations

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mix.
  • If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the brown sugar to 1 teaspoon.

  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Adjust salt quantity based on your dietary needs or if using salted butter or marinades.
