Earthy sweet and smoky - delicious with red meats and more
Servings 4 servings
Calories 70kcal
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons paprika or smoked paprika for additional smokiness
- 2 teaspoons chipotle powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine all the spices in a mixing bowl. Stir to evenly combine.
- Use immediately as a barbecue rub or store in an airtight container for future barbecue use.
Notes
For best flavor, allow the rub to set on the meat for 6 to 8 hours. Prepping the meat the night before and allowing it to refrigerate overnight is a perfect amount of time.
Smoked paprika can be substituted in for generic paprika. This rub is already smoky due to the addition of chipotle powder, so only use this option if you want to lean into smokiness.
