Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon Chili powder
• 1 tablespoon Ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon Onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients: paprika, brown sugar, granulated sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, chili powder, ground cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and ground mustard.

Step 2

Using a whisk or a fork, stir the ingredients thoroughly to ensure they are evenly combined and there are no clumps.

Step 3

Taste the rub and adjust for seasoning according to your preference. For a sweeter rub, add more brown sugar. For more heat, increase the cayenne pepper.

Step 4

Store the BBQ rub in an airtight container or mason jar. Label the container with the date and name of the recipe.

Step 5

Use the rub liberally on your choice of meat (ribs, chicken, brisket, etc.) before smoking, grilling, or roasting. Pat the rub onto the surface of the meat to help it adhere.

Step 6

For best results, apply the rub to the meat and let it sit for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to penetrate.
