Provided by Tyler Florence

Time 12m

Yield Approximately 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup paprika
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
2 tablespoons granulated onion
2 teaspoons peppercorns
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons cumin seed, toasted
3 tablespoons coriander seed, toasted
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 whole chicken, cut in pieces

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a clean coffee grinder. Rub on chicken directly or coat in a plastic storage bag. Make sure chicken is dry before applying.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dry rub will be. Look for spices that are fresh and flavorful, and use good quality salt and pepper.
  • Experiment with different combinations of spices. There are endless possibilities when it comes to creating a dry rub, so don't be afraid to get creative. Try different combinations of spices until you find one that you love.
  • Adjust the amount of rub to your taste. Some people like a lot of rub on their meat, while others prefer just a light coating. Adjust the amount of rub you use to your own personal taste.
  • Let the rub marinate for at least 30 minutes. This will give the spices time to penetrate the meat and develop their flavor.
  • Cook the meat over indirect heat. This will help to prevent the rub from burning and will allow the meat to cook evenly.
  • Baste the meat with the drippings during cooking. This will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:

A good dry rub can take your barbecue to the next level. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and flavorful rub that will enhance the taste of your meat. So next time you're firing up the grill, don't forget to give your meat a generous coating of dry rub. You won't be disappointed.
