BBQ Dry Rub

This BBQ DRY RUB RECIPE is one of my favorite spice blends to keep on hand! It’s perfect for seasoning chicken, pork, or even beef! You probably have all of these ingredients on hand, which means you’re just minutes away from the BEST dry rub yet!

Summer is here and that means we are outside, grilling all. the. things.

Chicken is actually my least favorite meat (weird, right?) but every summer the neighbors start grilling BBQ chicken and I’m suddenly ravenous for it myself.

This dry rub for chicken make some super flavorful chicken, but it’s also great on just about anything, including ribs, steak, and pulled pork.

It will quickly become a staple in your house! We keep mason jars of it in our spice cabinet at all times to make dinner extra easy!

Brown Sugar

Paprika – We like a nice smoked paprika, but regular works fine.

Chipotle Powder – This is optional, but it adds a nice little kick. It won’t make your food spicy, it just helps balance things out.

Garlic Powder

Onion Powder

Dried Parsley

Salt & Pepper

How to Make BBQ Dry Rub:

Mix: Whisk together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, black pepper, dried parsley, and chipotle powder.

If you don’t have chipotle powder, a little chili powder and a pinch of cayenne is a fine substitute.

Tip: If you like a smoky flavor you can use smoked paprika instead of the regular stuff!

Coat: Once your rub is all mixed together, coat your meat in the spice mix.

Rub it all in and make sure you cover every bit with that delicious flavor!

This chicken dry rub works perfect on pork and beef too!

Try my Carolina BBQ sauce too! Our bourbon BBQ sauce is also tasty!
