Notes
Wondering how to use Chili’s BBQ seasoning? Before applying dry rub to your meat, remove moisture with a paper towel. Next, spread the rub generously on the ribs from all sides. Coat very well. Wrap it in aluminum foil paper and refrigerate for at least one hour. After that, smoke or grill, the choice is yours.
A bonus tip is when you bring out the ribs from the smoker, sprinkle a little more dry rub on top for added flavor.
Our copycat Chili’s dry rub recipe will make enough rubs to coat 3-4 ribs. Use 3 tablespoons of rub for each rib.
No need to use any additional binder before rubbing the seasoning, as the dry rub already contains yellow mustard.
Serve the ribs with mashed potatoes, coleslaw, rice, or a salad of your choice.
Make a double batch if you want. Just alter the measurements accordingly.
Adjust the spice level by adding more or less cayenne pepper according to your taste buds.
Store the dry rub in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
