Directions

Step 1

Measure out all the ingredients using measuring spoons, ensuring accuracy for a balanced flavor.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, brown sugar, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper.

Step 3

Using a whisk or fork, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until the blend is uniform in color and texture.

Step 4

Taste a small pinch of the rub to adjust seasoning, if needed (for example, adding more salt or cayenne for additional heat).

Step 5

Transfer the poultry rub to an airtight container or jar for storage. Label it with the date for freshness tracking.

Step 6

Store the rub in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. Shake the container before each use to redistribute the spices.
