BBQ Peanuts

"I love peanuts," says Patrick Pierre-Jerome, executive chef of Hat City Kitchen in Orange. "I like them even more when they are spiced. The combination of salty and sweet flavors and a crunchy texture make them addictive. If you would like a little southwestern flair, add some cumin. A little five spice powder will give it an Asian flavor. Cayenne will provide a kick for those who can handle it."

2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika
1 lb unsalted roasted peanuts
