2 tablespoons dried crushed sage
1 tablespoon dried crushed rosemary

How to use this stuff. If the food has not been been brined, then sprinkle with salt, ½ teaspoon per pound. If it has been brined, then skip the salt. Lightly coat your chicken or potatoes or asparagus or whatever with water (the ingredients dissolve better in water than oil), sprinkle on the rub liberally, even if you are a conservative. If time permits, let the seasoned meat sit in the fridge for an hour or three.
Grill, smoke, or roast.

Tips:

Use fresh herbs and spices. Fresh herbs and spices will give your rub more flavor than dried ones. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount called for in the recipe.
Toast your spices. Toasting spices before using them will bring out their flavor and aroma. To toast spices, simply heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Once the spices are fragrant, remove them from the heat and let them cool.
Use a variety of spices. Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to create your own unique rub. Some common spices used in rubs include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, and oregano.
Adjust the heat level to your taste. If you like your rubs spicy, you can add cayenne pepper or chili powder. If you prefer a milder rub, you can omit the spicy ingredients or use less of them.
Use a binder. A binder will help the rub adhere to the meat. Common binders include oil, mustard, and honey.
Apply the rub liberally. Don't be afraid to use a lot of rub. The more rub you use, the more flavor your meat will have.
Let the rub marinate. Allowing the rub to marinate for a few hours or overnight will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. This will result in a more flavorful dish.
Cook the meat to the desired doneness. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of meat and the desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meat is cooked to your liking.

Conclusion:

Rubs are a great way to add flavor and moisture to your meat. They can be used on any type of meat, from chicken and pork to beef and lamb. With a little experimentation, you can create your own unique rub that will make your dishes taste amazing. So next time you're grilling, smoking, or roasting meat, don't forget to use a rub!
