Basic American Barbecue Rub image

This is an adopted recipe from Mean Chef. I plan on making this very soon, it sounds great! Mean Chefs words are: Use it on ribs, pork shoulders, chickens - anything you want to taste like American barbecue

Time 10m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup sweet paprika
3 tablespoons black pepper
3 tablespoons coarse salt
1 tablespoon hickory smoke salt or 1 tablespoon more coarse salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons celery seeds
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to mix.
  • (Actually, your hands work better for mixing than a spoon or whisk does. Use your fingers to break up any lumps of brown sugar.) Store the rub in an airtight jar away from heat or light; it will keep for at least 6 months.
  • Use 2 to 3 teaspoons per pound of meat.
  • A 4-pound chicken will take 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons.
  • To make a spicier rub, substitute hot paprika for some or all of the sweet paprika.
