Notes
This BBQ rub makes enough to coat about 2-3 lbs of meat, depending on how generously you apply it. For larger cuts like ribs or brisket, you may want to adjust the amount to ensure even coverage.
Adjust cayenne pepper and sugar levels based on your heat and sweetness preferences.
Add a hint of ground coffee or cocoa powder for a bold, unique flavour profile.
Store leftover rub in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
