Classic BBQ rub

Having a good dry rub is essential if you are going to master the grilled arts.  This Classic BBQ rub recipe compliments chicken, beef, or pork.  It also makes a perfect starting point to add or subtract ingredients to sculpt a flavor profile that suits your tastes.  If you are from Texas you’ve probably grown up with the standard Dalmatian rub of 50/50 salt and black pepper.  Here’s a chance to broaden your horizons.

A variety of spices are portioned out on a cutting board.

One thing I would like to point out is the use of turbinado sugar.  I like to use turbinado because it has a higher burn point than white sugar.  If you want you can run your turbinado sugar through a spice grinder to get a finer grain so it doesn’t separate from the rest of the ingredients as easily.  I really recommend using high-quality spices as you can find.  I really love the smoked spices from Bourbon Barrel Foods (not affiliated with my BBQ team).

 

Everything else is pretty standard.  If you don’t like much heat you can leave the chipotle powder out.   I personally love the smoky heat it adds to a dish. Again experiment with additional spices to find new and interesting combinations to make your own Classic BBQ Rub.

How much does this rub make? Would this recipe be enough for a rack of ribs, or maybe a boston butt?
