BBQ Rub | Easy Homemade BBQ Rub
This BBQ rub is the perfect sweet and savory rub for pork and chicken. It's easy to make with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. Don't grill without it!
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons coarse cracked black pepper (halve this if using a finer grind)
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl or jar, mix all ingredients together. Store in an airtight container until ready to use. Makes about ½ cup.
- When ready to use, rub onto desired choice of meat. Use as much or as little as you prefer. I recommend pork or chicken for this spice rub.

Notes
- Make a double batch. If you grill often, it can be a timesaver to have a jar of BBQ rub on hand. It's easy to double the recipe (click on the 2X button above) and it keeps well.
- Adjust the seasoning. Since it's DIY, you can change up the BBQ rub to fit your preferences. Cutting back on salt? Use less. Don't like the heat? Use less black pepper and skip the cayenne.
