directions

  • Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to mix.
  • (Actually, your hands work better for mixing than a spoon or whisk does. Use your fingers to break up any lumps of brown sugar.) Store the rub in an airtight jar away from heat or light; it will keep for at least 6 months.
  • Use 2 to 3 teaspoons per pound of meat.
  • A 4-pound chicken will take 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons.
  • To make a spicier rub, substitute hot paprika for some or all of the sweet paprika.

  1. Just had Rib's last night at my BBL. This was the recipe he was using! Outstanding. So happy to find it already posted! He uses it along with a Basic BBQ Sauce that his kids and grandkids say "Papa Sauce" !
     
  2. This is a great classic BBQ rub. I have used it now on chicken quarters and a pork tenderloin that we BBQ'd on the grill. Terrific results both times!!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I grew up in California and now live in Seattle Washington,and I really love it here! I've been cooking since I was about 10 and still enjoy cooking till this day. I don't really have a favorite food as I enjoy many different dishes. I do really enjoy cooking on a smoker, the taste is out of this world. I also enjoy barbecue, Italian, Mexican and Chinese just to name a few. As you will notice I also enjoy taking pictures of dishes I make, there's nothing like getting that great shot. Thank you for stopping in, I hope you enjoy my site!
