BBQ Rub-a-dub

Usually, I like to use the proprietary rubs offered by the folks at World Spice Merchants. However, in a pinch (ie. when I have forgotten to place my order) I’m forced to come up with my own creations. This is one of my favorites, developed originally for my Pulled Pork (recipe coming soon) with R&R BBQ Sauce, but good for any pork, beef, or even chicken Q-ing needs. Best of all, it’s super simple!

SIDE NOTE: I realize that I haven’t posted any actual recipes in a bit since we were on our two week, 2900 mile jaunt up to Idaho. Sure, there have been a bunch of great Road Trip Hits posted (and there is one more coming), but it’s time to share more Caveipes. So, over the next several days, I’ll be posting a few seasonal BBQ recipes for you to enjoy.

INGREDIENTS

2 TBSP Paprika

1 TBSP Ancho Chili Powder

1 TBSP Chipotle Chili Powder

1 Tsp Cayenne Pepper

1/2 Tsp Sea or Kosher Salt

1/2 Tsp Dried Chopped Garlic

1/4 Tsp Red Crushed Pepper

1/4 Tsp Black Pepper

RECIPE

In a small bowl mix or whisk all ingredients together well. Then, spread liberally on your intended target. Cover and refrigerate a minimum of 4 hours (overnight is better). You should have enough rub for 5 pounds of meat or two racks of ribs. Pictured here encrusting some Country Style Pork Ribs.
