When it comes to grilling or smoking meats, a well-crafted dry rub can make all the difference in the final flavor of your dish. Dry rubs are a combination of spices, herbs, and sometimes sugar or salt, that are applied to the surface of the meat before cooking. They not only enhance the flavor of the meat but also help to create a crispy crust and lock in moisture. With so many different flavor profiles to choose from, finding the perfect dry rub for your next cookout can be a daunting task. To help you out, we've compiled a list of six of the best dry rubs that are sure to impress your taste buds.
Let's cook with our recipes!
6 DIFFERENTS DRY RUBS
These are great dry rubs to try before you go out and buy the whole bottle and then find out you don't like them. Most of these ingredients are already in your cupboard. I keep all my old spice jars, wash, remove label and reuse for recipes like these. Dry rubs do not need standing time but can be applied several hours in advance if kept refrigerated. The flavors become more pronounced the longer the rub is on the meat. I prefer sprinkling on and then letting sit out at room temperature for about 15 min.

HOMEMADE DRY RUB FOR EVERYTHING
This dry rub adds layers of flavor to steaks, chicken, roasted veggies and more. The combo of everyday spices (think smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano) plays up the savory notes, while a touch of sumac and cayenne provide a bit of acidity and heat. Feel free to double the recipe and store in an airtight container for an all-purpose spice blend to have on hand at any time.

Tips:
- Choose the right rub for your meat. Different rubs are better suited for different types of meat. For example, a rub with a lot of paprika and cumin is a good choice for chicken, while a rub with a lot of garlic and oregano is a good choice for pork.
- Apply the rub evenly to the meat. Use your hands to rub the mixture into the meat, making sure to get it into all the nooks and crannies.
- Let the meat rest before cooking. This allows the flavors of the rub to penetrate the meat. The longer you let the meat rest, the more flavorful it will be.
- Cook the meat according to the recipe. Overcooking will dry out the meat and make it tough.
- Let the meat rest before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Dry rubs are a great way to add flavor to your meat. They are easy to make and can be used on a variety of meats. With a little experimentation, you can find the perfect rub for your next cookout.
