Best Homemade Rib Rub Easy Sweet Spicy Recipe

Instructions:

1. Accurately measure all dry spices, salt, and sugar into a medium mixing bowl. Ensure the brown sugar is well-packed when measured.
2. Use a whisk to aggressively incorporate all ingredients until there are absolutely no visible clumps of brown sugar or pockets of spice. The colour should be uniform.
3. Test consistency by taking a tiny pinch; it should taste potent, salty, sweet, and slightly spicy. Remember this is highly concentrated.
4. Transfer the finished rub into a clean, airtight storage container, such as a mason jar.
5. Allow the rub to rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, before use to allow the flavours to marry.
6. Before seasoning the ribs, pat the meat completely dry with paper towels. Apply the rub generously, pressing it into the surface to form a thin, even layer.
