BBQ Spice Rub

Everyone should have a go-to BBQ. This is one that I came up with after quite a few iterations. It goes great on chicken, pork, or beef. Once you make your own rub, you won’t buy one pre-made from the store. If you look at the ingredients, it will likely be mostly salt. None of the ingredients are expensive, it comes together in in just a few minutes. In fact, I bet will take longer to gather the ingredients than it will to put it all together.

Try this mix out the next time you decide to fire up your smoker. Feel free to tweak this recipe and make it your own.
