Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon parsley dried
- 1-2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons paprika smoked or regular

- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon cumin

Instructions

Notes
- You can adjust the spice level of your seasoning by how much cayenne pepper you add to the mix. Generally, 1 teaspoon will result in a mild jerk seasoning, 1 ½ teaspoons a medium level, and 2 teaspoons being medium-hot. This, of course, is different for everyone.
