BROWN SUGAR BBQ RUB

This is my favorite rub to use when I smoke meats. I threw it together to use on smoked pork butt, but it also works really well on chicken and ribs. Apply liberally to meat and let sit overnight for best flavor. The brown sugar helps make a nice bark. Makes enough to cover two 8-pound pork butts or 6 racks of ribs.

CLASSIC BBQ RUB



Classic Bbq Rub image

Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are adapted from Elizabeth Karmel's Web site, girlsatthegrill.com . This rub has all the classic barbecue notes: salt, spice, sweet, and smoky. It is particularly great on ribs but works with pork chops and tenderloin, chicken and even catfish for an authentic low 'n slow barbecued flavor.

Categories     No-Cook     Backyard BBQ     Spice     Tailgating

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons smoky Spanish paprika
2 tablespoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon chile powder
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder

1 tablespoon celery salt
1 teaspoon oregano, crushed

Steps:

  • Combine paprika, salt, sugar, brown sugar, cumin, chile powder, black pepper, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, celery salt, and oregano in bowl; mix well. For a smoother rub, puree ingredients in a spice grinder until well combined and all pieces are uniform (the rub will be very fine and tan in color).
  • Extra rub can be stored in an airtight container for up to six months.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sugar: Brown sugar is the most common sugar used in BBQ rubs, but you can also use white sugar, granulated sugar, or even maple sugar. Each type of sugar will give your rub a slightly different flavor.
  • Use a variety of spices: The best BBQ rubs use a variety of spices to create a complex flavor. Some common spices used in BBQ rubs include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to making a BBQ rub. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and combinations until you find a rub that you love.
  • Store your rub in a cool, dry place: Once you've made your rub, store it in a cool, dry place. This will help to preserve the flavor of the rub.
