  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper optional

Instructions
 

Measure All Ingredients

  • Put all spices in small bowls. Measure them carefully to keep the taste balanced.

Add Brown Sugar

  • Put the brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Break any hard lumps with your fingers or a fork.

Mix All Spices

  • Add paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, cumin, and pepper. Stir until everything mixes well.

Add Cayenne Pepper

  • If you want extra heat, add cayenne pepper. Mix again so it spreads evenly.

Whisk Until Smooth

  • Use a whisk or spoon to blend the rub. Make sure there are no clumps.

Store the Rub

  • Pour the rub into an airtight jar. Close it tightly to keep it fresh.

Apply to Meat

  • Rub the seasoning on chicken, beef, or pork. Cover the meat well.

Rest the Meat

  • Let the meat sit for 20 minutes. This helps the rub stick and melt into the meat.

Cook as Desired

  • Smoke it, grill it, bake it, or air-fry it. The rub works with any cooking method.

Enjoy the Taste

  • Slice the cooked meat and enjoy the rich flavor. The rub gives a tasty crust everyone loves.

Notes

  • Add more cayenne if you enjoy spicy food.
  • Replace brown sugar with coconut sugar for a lighter option.
  • Add smoked paprika for extra smoky flavor.
  • Mix the rub with oil to make a paste.
  • Use the rub on vegetables too.
  • Make a big batch if you grill often.
