Homemade Chipotle Seasoning Ingredients:

Proper choice of ingredients is half the task in any recipe, isn’t it? You’ll be happy to know that here I used only the exact ingredients. Most of them are already in your pantry. Or you may need to do a small grocery shopping. Now let’s know the ingredients:

Chipotle Pepper:

Chipotle Pepper, a dried jalapeno chili pepper is used mostly as seasoning. It has a unique mild spiciness and smoky flavor. Chipotle pepper is the key player in our chipotle chicken rub recipe. 2 tablespoons of ground chipotle pepper is used in the recipe.

Brown Sugar:

Brown sugar is a healthier option than refined white sugar at the same time offers an extra flavor. It is used in sauces and condiments to add the necessary sweetness. Brown sugar also has a thickening property. 2 tablespoons of brown sugar will provide enough sweetness to our recipe.

Mustard Powder:

Mustard powder has a gentle sweet flavor and a unique pungent aroma. It is a famous ingredient for most of the BBQ rubs and sauces. 1 tablespoon dry mustard powder makes our Chipotle dry rub all spicy and tangy.

Ground Cumin:

Cumin is a must-use spice in almost all kinds of BBQ meat. It has a light sweet flavor with some heat as well as a strong savory aroma. 1 teaspoon ground cumin adds richness to our homemade chipotle seasoning.

Kosher Salt:

Kosher salt is large and rough-grained salt made without iodine. It is used mostly in BBQ meat as it softens the meat and equally improves texture. 1 teaspoon of kosher salt is needed in our recipe.

Garlic Powder:

Garlic powder is a popular spice used in BBQ meat to add flavor. Garlic has a pungent taste and strong aroma that complements our BBQ rub. So, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder is used in our Chipotle BBQ rub recipe.

Smoked Paprika:

Smoked paprika is used to intensify the flavors already present in any dish. Although it adds a smoky touch to the recipe, it is not very hot. 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika adds depth to our BBQ dry rub.

Black Pepper:

Our last but not the least ingredient in the list is black pepper. Whereas it is not so spicy itself, it intensifies the smokiness and heat from other ingredients. ½ teaspoon of black pepper is used here.

And that’s it. Your go-to Chipotle BBQ dry rub is all nice and ready to spice up your BBQ chicken. Also ideal for beef briskets, pork, and ribs.

Recipe Tips And Notes:

Wondering how to use this rub in your BBQ? Just rub the spice mix on the BBQ meat, then you can go for barbecuing on the grill.

Planning to store it for further use? Put it in a dry, airtight container, preferably in a glass jar. Store in a dry and cool space protected from light, an example is your kitchen cabinet.

You can use a funnel to safely transfer the rub from the bowl to the glass jar.

Use only fresh and high-quality spices to have the ultimate taste of the rub. Always check if the aroma is intact before using a spice.

Another tip is if you’re additionally using brine for the BBQ, put ½ teaspoon salt in the rub instead of 1 teaspoon.

Brown sugar tends to retain moisture, so the rub will be useable for 2-3 months until the sugar dampens the seasoning.

A big No to refrigerating and freezing as moisture worsens both the flavor and longevity.
