Notes

  • Store it in an airtight container for up to 6 months. But as it takes only 5 minutes to prepare, I recommend making it instantly for better taste. 
 
  • You can use this dry rub on any meat with or without skin. Smoke, grill, or bake, this rub is suitable for all.
 
  • Add 1 teaspoon more of Cayenne pepper if you like your rub spicier.
  • I prefer smoked paprika. But sweet or hot paprika will work too.
 
  • You can use white sugar too. But brown sugar is coarse and has a tenderizing effect on meat which is its best for rubs.
