BBQ Rub

Facts

This rub is great on a rack of Pork Ribs, but can also be used to season any other cuts of Pork, Chicken or Beef. Spices have a long history documenting their healing properties, so we like to find ways to incorporate them into your daily meals. Organic spices tend be more fresh, have a more robust flavor and just like other organically produced foods, are free of harsh chemical sprays and pesticides. It’s always a great idea to make your own blends while adding new flavors to your pallet and pantry.

Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Cook Time: Depends on how you’re using this rub - Slow Cooked Ribs take about 3 Hours and are finished on the grill. A Whole Chicken roasted in the oven takes about an hour.

Yield: 1 Cup

Ingredients: 

1 ½ oz Onion Powder

1 oz Garlic Powder

1 oz Chili Powder

1 oz Maldon Salt

1 oz Brown Sugar

½ oz Ground Chipotle Chili Powder

½ oz Ground Cayenne Chili Powder

½ oz Ground Black Pepper

Method: 

  1. Place all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix until fully incorporated.

  2. Store in an air tight container away from sunlight, excessive heat and moisture. 

  3. Marinate meats at least an hour before cooking – or overnight if you’re thinking ahead.

Helpful Tips and Tricks

  • As always, get playful with the spices and their ratios. There really isn’t a right or wrong.

  • Always taste your spice blends before you use them to make sure the sugar, salt and heat are balanced. 

  • Check out our house made BBQ Sauce Recipe. While they can be used separately, this BBQ Spice Rub and that sauce are made to go together. 

  • When grilling, you can also baste ribs with a little bit of apple cider vinegar and mustard.
