Dry Rub for Spicy BBQ Ribs

After trying a few different recipes for a dry rub, we came up with our own version. We like more spicy than sweet.

• Ready In: 1 hr 30 mins
• Serves: 2-4

Ingredients

• 4  tablespoons brown sugar
• 1  tablespoon seasoning salt
• 2  tablespoons chili powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
• 1  teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1⁄2 teaspoon rosemary (crushed)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon thyme
• 1  teaspoon onion powder
• 1  teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1  full pork back  rib

Directions

1. Wash rack of ribs, remove membrane on back, and pat dry with paper towel. You can either leave as a rack and thread onto a spit or cut into 2-3 rib sections.
2. Mix all remaining ingredients until well blended. Rub the mix over both sides of ribs until it's all used up. I sometimes double the recipe to get a really good coating. You can either put in fridge overnight or grill at 350 F right away on bbq over indirect heat. The bbq acts more like an oven this way. The sugar will burn if you grill over direct flame.
3. They will take an hour to cook through.
