Easy Barbecue Rub Recipe

A barbecue rub, often referred to simply as a “rub,” is a mixture of herbs, spices, salt, sugar, and sometimes additional flavorings that is applied to meat before it’s cooked. The purpose of a rub is to enhance the flavor of the meat, create a flavorful crust when grilled or smoked, and often add a touch of color to the finished dish.

Rubs are commonly used in barbecue and grilling to infuse meats with a combination of savory, spicy, sweet, and sometimes smoky flavors. They can be used on a variety of meats, such as ribs, brisket, pork shoulder, chicken, and more. The specific ingredients in a rub can vary widely based on personal preferences and regional barbecue styles.

To use a rub, you simply apply it generously to the surface of the meat, gently patting it onto the surface to ensure it adheres. The meat is then typically allowed to rest for a period of time before cooking, allowing the flavors of the rub to permeate the meat.
