Ingredients

  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 Teaspoon Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 Teaspoon Mustard Powder

Instructions

  • Measure and put all the ingredients in a small bowl
  • Stir very well. Even out the lumps if any
  • Use right away ro store for later use

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.
